I don't know if making such an infobox that does not support IE6 and IE7 is a good idea. If you would take out all inline style elements and replace with them classes that are available in a general stylesheet it would already safe a lot of the cruft in the original code.

Also: "It should be fairly easy to do so, as the HTML code is generated by templates."  Has he *looked* at the templates?  :) The major reason why inline style is used on Wikipedia is, of course, because ordinary editors don't have the ability to use stylesheets. And while admins do, they can only effectively add markup to *all* pages at once, regardless of whether they contain the exact infobox in question.  An awful lot of the provided CSS is nation-box-specific, and so useless in 99.99% of Wikipedia's articles.  (Literally: there are about 2.7 million articles, and I'm pretty sure there are less than 270 recognized nations.)  But all that CSS would have to be served with all of them. - Show quoted text - _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

I'd like to see the CSS/HTML that can do that without JS or something else.  I'm not familiar with a technique to implement dynamically resizable columns in CSS/HTML.
