I thought about something like this, as well, but it won't work here,
the CSS defined in my stylesheet is always overridden by what is defined
inline within the markup, and I can't change that. :/

I'm always striving for cross-browser-usability, though probably most of
our customers are using some more recent MSIE variants. Bad thing is
that I can't do anything but just include a CSS there, so even
JavaScript is not really possible. :/

Oh yeah. If I could mess around within the system, I'd probably dump all
the markup they're using, right now, and replace this by something
leaner, something more structured. But well, what do you know... :/


Anyhow, thanks and bye,
Kris
