A lot of designers coming to the Web started out designing for print. Although the days of wet ink and image trapping may be far removed from the keyboards and pixels of Web design, wouldn’t it be nice to have that same precise control over the text in a web page that is possible with printed paper? HTML gives limited control over layout with tags such as <CENTER> and <P>, but if those were the only options available with PageMaker or Quark—the top print layout programs— we’d all still be using the letter press. Overtime, new tags and technologies have been added to the Web that allow greater control over the appearance of documents— things like tables, frames, justification controls, and JavaScript—but what Web designers can't do with fast loading HTML they have had to hack together using slow loading graphics. Not a very elegant system.
