[Javascript] Re: Standards

[David Lovering]

Well, I won't provide an exhaustive list, but just in several minutes of
testing I found the following:

    (1)    font-sizing directives don't work one-to-one and onto
    (2)    Image boundary zones aren't respected (margin-top, margin-right,
etc.)
    (3)    button labels don't appear
    (4)    layers -- still use Netscape proprietary methods for hiding
(visibility doesn't render the same way)
    (5)    borders all default to standard grey, and relief declarations
don't work properly
    (6)    cellspacing declarations are ignored, or altered substantially
    (7)    CSS definitions pertaining to the internals of text fields,
pull-downs, etc. either don't work at all or are
            substantially modified from their declared values
    (8)    Key events are still flaky, and the masks don't conform to
HTML4.0 spec.  Don't worry, IE doesn't make the
            grade on this one either.

With that much pain, I don't need to flog myself any further.

Yes, I too can make a page that looks the same in both environments.  The
trick is to achieve this end with the same code, and without a life-time
supply of conditional macros to match the two platforms to some common
average.
