It's called an analogy. Sorry you don't understand it. If my car had a
hand-crank, I would want to upgrade it to one with an electric starter,
especially for cold winter mornings. The analogy is one should want to
advance in the design/coding of their web site from ancient pre-CSS code
to modern "separate content and presentation" design.
You've been reading these groups long enough to have been exposed to
this new phenomenon.

I suppose you missed the RX-7 in 1979 (great little car) and the Mazda
Cosmos in 1967, the Hercules motorcycle with the Wankel engine in 1975,
Nortons and Suzukis even earlier, popular snowmobiles in the late
1960s...

Well, slagging your posts would actually help the OP. Get him on the
right track, as it were.

Whoohoo! Good job! Now ... if you used CSS, the Validator would have
told you straightaway that the background color was missing. <g>

Did you look at the CSS?

The clients got what they paid for, and are happy. I'm not a deezyner,
I'm a programmer and a coder with little artistic skills. Actually, I'm
retired and now I just dabble.
One thing about the CSS: it's lightweight and saves the downloading of a
bunch of graphic files.
Now, please excuse me for a few hours. I'm on my way over to Country
Rode to renew the inspection on one of my motorcycles, which is due in
November.
