*older browsers have difficulties displaying a div layout
|
-*difficult to create a pixelperfect layout
|
+*virtually 'impossible' to create a pixelperfect layout that expands over 100% of the displayed area - let's be honest: who really needs that. most sitest that look really good, are constrained to a certain width anyway (IMHO). if you instist on that kind of layout, i suppose you could use your own tiki.tpl file that uses a table as layout. |
