[thelist] Compatibility (was: CSS Problem)

The problem with this method of dodging the H problem is that you completely
sidestep the essential idea of a Header being defined.  until XML comes into
its own, as designers we should be doing our best (IMO) to tag data as best
we can.  That seems to be the real reason behind using stylesheets in the
first place, separating the style from the content tags.  I know there are
huge problems with CSS and H tags, but if you make headers without defining
them as headers, you make things more difficult for browsers for the blind.

|well, i do think that it's a netscape thing... : (
|headings are very obstrusive tags when it comes to spacing.
|Why don't you use a style class with its attributes equal to the Hx ?
|
|i.e. :
|<font class="head3">this is a tweaked H2</font> <br />
|within your class, you can add the line-height that you need.
|
|<style>
|.head3 {
|line-height : xx pts;
|font-size : xx pts;
|}
|</style>
|
|The problem will of course be with non-css browsers...
