Many designer have been designing standards compliant websites that display perfectly and work real swell in Netscape 4 for a couple of years now. Especially using XHTML. Some believe you must sacrifice your visual design to be standards compliant in NS4. This is untrue. One has nothing to do with the other. Some believe you must rely on hacks to be standards compliant in NS4. Like the visual design, any hacks used have nothing to do with either NS4 or standards. There is no line of comparison that suggests non-standards can, in any way, be better, more cost effective, more visually attractive, or better for your customers than designing with standards. Even is you use NS4. -- Austin
