As you like it. Nobody can prevent you from using the presentational HTML
kludgery from year 1996, but you shouldn't expect much willingness to help
you there (unless you pay sufficiently for that).

I have no idea of what you are talking about and how it relates to your
problem or HTML or anything.

How does _that_ relate to anything? (I'm not even asking what it means,.)

I have a strong feeling that you are trying to be funny, or something.

Actually, people do that a lot, using CSS. You'll have a hard time in
convincing them of the benefits of some HTML trickery that you need help
with.
