Then and Now
The new versions of browsers and html
have provided the control that the designers have been concerned
about over the last 6 years (1996-2002). The designer can

sheets which can control any element on the web page even
the whole web site.

the mainstream and the laggards. It may take a few more
years for the web to really find it's directions into
