I was curious if any of your tutorials would cover the topic of using
cascading style sheets and I assume JavaScript how they can be used to
implement "universal design" principles similar to the idea where we see
several options to adjust size, colour and contrast of text on the page.
You can see examples of this on several of the A.T. websites these days.
I understand the concepts, but a simple step-by-step would be useful.
Thanks.

I will indeed and be asking for pointers. I am using Master Pages right
now
and they sort of perform the same function. I wonder why MS came up with
this whole Master Page technology when includes would have worked as
well? I
might do some googling when I put up a Include example.
This week I am finishing up putting some HyperLinks on the pages and
will
cover adding a ListBox and passing a Querystring before the release of
the
first group of articles this weekend. Next I plan on digging into adding
a
DataBase using the IDE or using Sql Server Management Studio Express and
some scripts.
Then I can get into some data handling and design. That gives me the
ability
of demonstrating Master Detail Page layouts with various ASP Controls.
