"shaded" - customer wanted a light tan background colour in alternate table rows. Looks lovely... well, if only they didn't want fancy glyphs for icons in one of the columns which I then had to conver to images for fear of embedded fonts not being reliable.
Interesting though that the converted image background inherits the table cell's background colour from the first instance seen. Surprised that they've gone to the effort of being that 'clever'. |
Eh, embedded fonts have been pretty reliable for a while, if the glyphs are supported with unicode. If not, of course, if they are out-there swashes and all that, that's another thing altogether and it's a bugger if only a given font has them--then you have big-time issues when the user changes fonts.
On the shading--well...that's doable. Tables are always rough, the choice between the smooth and the not-so. We still use our typical 3-4-columns, not-more-than-10-15 rows "rule of thumb" in deciding which way to go.
Yes, having the HPs does help with fractious customers. At least something does.
