Re: how to deal with inconsistencies of css in netscape

First of all, you're designing backwards.  If you want to design cross-brow=
ser sites, you should be designing for Netscape, as IE is MUCH more =
forgiving, and will usually display working docs from NS properly.

Secondly, the images on that site look as if they were saved with a 8bit =
color pallette.  This might be intentional, might not.  Either way, it =
doesn't look very good.

And last of all... you don't get paid enough to deal with this?  If THAT =
is all you have to deal with in web design, consider yourself lucky.  =
Unless this is something that was dumped on you, and your job is not =
normally web design, that last statement is very irritating to read.

I deal with the whole shabang.  Hosting, design, content, database =
management, scripting and testing.  And you know what I do when it's all =
said and done?  I find what's wrong with it and start at square one, =
because NOTHING is perfect, yet I always strive to make it so.  Add to =
that the fact that I'm not paid to do it, and I'd say that is a great =
formula for frustration.  But it doesn't frustrate me, as it's a labor of =
love, and I can't get enough of it.   Yes, I'm psycho, but I can't get =
enough.

This is SOOO frustrating. I work to make things look good in IE and =
then=20
have to face the facts of dealing with netscape.

I built a site using CSS (a relative newbie with that) and all looked =
great=20
in IE. I then went to look at it in Netscape and had to have smelling =

bring me back to life.

Please check this out:

In IE it looks as it should, in NN4.7 the button is shifted over, in =
NN6,=20
the logo is shifted over.

I don't get paid enough to deal with this...
