Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

Interesting - I've just done a sitemap and wireframe for the FMCG client
I'm working for at the moment, and there's nothing there which needs
frames or dHTML. I think we'll be using tables and CSS styling for colours
and fonts only.

Cheers
Martin

*of course* it depends on your requirements, it's just my requirements
being
often FMCG branding tend towards requiring css and dhtml. or at least
frames. or tables to render the same. It's the old 80-20% rule, 20% of the
time, the twenty percent of the audience or 20% of the site doesnt matter,
it's still the 20% thats a pain in the butt-cheeks.

you can do a lot on the server side, and being a server-side kinda guy
that's what I prefer, but we cant always do what is "right" or what we
prefer, otherwise all my sites would detect netscape and tell them to wipe
their feet on the way out ;O)
