Let me say that I agree. But right now, the ww'ers have indicated that they want all styles inline. I think this practice should be changed, but it isn't my call.
This isn't a boolean decision and there are reasons for and against inline styles vs. external styles. If you have an extremely heavy hit site (like I do), inline styles makes sense... _except_ when your stylesheet itself is overly large (hundreds of lines or more). The balance has to be consired: Is it worth it to incur another socket connection and round trip from the client (more server hits to retrieve resources) or is it better to have a larger byte-per-hit (but less socket connections) per-client? Every site has their own requirements, and for some you'll want to use both approaches. Its not an all-or-nothing decision. David A. Desrosiers desrod@gnu-designs.com http://gnu-designs.com
