Ok, designing a webpage using CSS for text formatting, layer positioning, etc... Looks great in IE, looked at it in Netscape, and Jack the Ripper couldn't do a worse job. Does anyone know of a good site for coding CSS in netscape? I can't seem to find any (I think I'm blind)

CSS in Netscape -- Totaly Lost

- Start date
NS4.x will chew up your css and spit it out. i hate that browser so much.... *starts to daydream about deleting every copy of ns4 on the planet* For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him won't die but have everlasting life - Jesus - John 3:16 -
I agree! My boss is learning CSS and put together an absolutely beautiful page - in IE. When we looked at it in NS 6.1 is wasn't quite as nice, but I was able to tweak it to look pretty much like it does it IE. However in NS4.7 NOTHING looked right. I spent the most part of three days trying to make it look good in NS4.7 while still looking the same in the others. Finally got it looking halfway decent and told my boss "That's the best I can do without restructing the whole page to use nothing but lots of nested tables and very little CSS." Now he's wondering why he worked so hard to learn CSS!

The fact that it did not look correct in Netsacpe 6.1 was probably an error in the code -- its CSS1 bugs are few and far between. I usually find myself coding around the many annoying bugs I find in IE5, especially the box model bug....
To the fact about the site looking bad in Netscape 4.x -- I usually think "Lets make it accessable in Netscape 4.x without a stylesheet."
if you take a look at --
Look at in IE5+ or Netscape 6+ or any other standards compliant browser (Opera, Konq, Mozilla, etc.)
Then look at it in Netscape 4.x.
I have made it so that netscape doesn't see the stylesheet.. Is a decent css layout -- but I use the @import css command so that netscape 4.x won't recoginze the style sheet. But the site is still perfectly useful -- It just doesn't look spectacular. But since 4.x is a legacy browser and less and less people are using it -- I don't mind.
It also looks really rad in lynx. =) ===
