Giving a site a font size in points will make<BR>the text OK in one browser (IE on Win) and unreadable in another (NN on<BR>Mac).<BR><BR>See http://www.alistapart.com/stories/fear4/ for more info.<BR><BR>>State that the CSS u're using is CSS1 it may trick the users CSS2<BR>>Because in CSS2 the user can override the author settings with the same<BR>>command for instance:<BR>>P { font-size: 18pt ! important }<BR>><BR>>while in CSS1 they can't.<BR>>Either way, these users are rare, or non-existant for now.<BR><BR>??? First of all, you cannot declare what CSS you use, you just give<BR>commands and hope the browsers understand it.

Well, F-off</P> <P>and no-thanks!</P> <P> </P> <P><BR>Secondly, really CSS2 supporting browsers are still very rare. The only ones<BR>to qualify are Netscape 6, Opera 5 and Konqueror (and IE5 Mac, up to a<BR>point). IE5 Win does not support enough CSS2 to make it a really compatible<BR>browser.<BR><BR>See http://www.xs4all.nl/~ppk/css2tests/ for the tests and the outcome.<BR><BR>ppk<BR><BR>_________________________________________________________________________<BR>Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.<BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Javascript mailing list<BR>Javascript@LaTech.edu<BR>http://www.LaTech.edu/mailman/listinfo/javascript<BR></P> <DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML><DIV><BR><br clear=all><hr>Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at <a href="http://www.hotmail.com">http://www.hotmail.com</a>.<br></p></DIV>
