I use Topstyle 2.0 which does a great job of keeping me ontrack. I worked
out a usable .CSS file two years ago mostly from trial and error and I just
tweek it as I go along. I have it set up very conservatively for NN 4.7 so
that it's very universal. I also kept the font sizes all large. This makes
it easier to read and I get no complaints from Mac users.
My current project is to convert a 1600 page website from HTML 4.0 Sloppy,
to XHTML Validated. This is grueling and tedious. My main problem is with
sliced images. I use them in several places as a menu and the validated
code has a problem with Netscape 6.x It leaves horizontal gaps between
the slices. See http://www.abcwaterbed.com/
Part of the problem is in opinion. It seems that some people at the W3C
thought slices and maps were a "trendy" kind of thing to be looked down on
so they neglected to do anything here. The proprietary body tags like
marginheight and width are of course a big no-no.
If anyone has a CSS workaround for this problem, I would really like to hear
it.
