TIA!

Or you can use SVG:

It was very well done m'lady and may be suitable for the OP.
OTOH, he may be interested in a slightly different alternative.
You don't care for SVG?

No, I do... I mean... well, I don't know much about it. Sounds sort of
Doctor Who like. I bet if he waived his pen thingy over a piece of paper
or monitor it would do a SVG sort of thing.

I sort of take the fanciful idea that we should be like poets determined
to make a go of the sonnet form except in our case, it should be
html/css. Now what usenet group is this? Yes, I am right surely? For a
moment I thought it might be alt.html - where, of course, anything goes
and some people (I will not mention names) make sure that lots of things
go... <g>

I took interest quite a while ago and still have Inkscape as a rool with
which to automate rather than hand code (which is a heck of a bother).

HTML5 categorizes SVG as one of "The elements of HTML".

I'm convinced. The rendering between Opera and Firefox was bitwise perfect.

I'm going to do my entire webpages in SVG from now on.
Has anyone got an HTML to SVG converter?

I wonder when IE will catch up? I have the IE8 beta on my spare laptop
and even that wanted to save it rather than render it.

IE users have always had to rely on the Adobe SVG plug-in, but last year
Adobe dropped support for it, though it can still be downloaded.

Hi! Okay, so positions on "text/html" XHTML are totally contradicting. Anyway! I hope there's more consensus about "application/xml" XHTML. I've recently learned that Opera 9.0b2 does not only evaluate HTTP header, BOM and XML declaration to determine the character encoding of an XHTML document sent as "application/xml", but also the "meta" element. For example, <http://schneegans.de/sv/test-cases/?case=meta-only-encoding> is rendered...
