Erika,

Hm, that's an idea..gives me another way to think about it. Thanks for the
suggestions, I'll see what idea I can come up with using those :)

Thanks,
Gina

|This is what I do:
|
|1. put all your TD bgcolor declarations in CSS ONLY.
|2. put all your link colors in CSS ONLY.
|
|KILL ALL BODY ATTRIBUTES.
|
|that's it.
|
|Now, it may be that your nav bar is done with a bgcolor instead of a
|table cell, in which case this doesn't work so well.
|
|But if you do it the way I outlined above, all non-CSS browsers see
|ONLY default-colored background and default-colored links.
|
|If that is really ugly, make an HTML td bgcolor that is light-colored
|and readable behind the default link.  Make your CSS any colors you
|want; it will override the TD bgcolor.
|
|http://www.seastorm.com/ uses these techniques.  Check it in a
|non-CSS browser to see what I mean.
