[thelist] CSS + Netscape 4.7 HELL

[MaKo]

You could also try to have a second stylesheet for NN4.xx that helps you
to achieve a similar looking site. In the end, it is not *that* much of a
problem, especially if you develop it from the beginning.

A big portion of the medical, educational and governmental sector are
using NN4.xx - and backward little companies like Boeing, for example....
;)

Perhaps you could provide an URL so that has a chance to look into the
styles, or you could take a look at http://www.mako4css.com/Issues.htm

-- Thanks,

MaKo

...just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water...
