Thre is a hack to get around most of Netscapes CSS bugs - use an @media rule that puts all the stuff Netscape doesn't understand in a section which is for screen and something else (for example print) - another bug in Netscape means it ignores the styles. (I believe the bug is still there.) Much as I hate recommending the use of error-handling as a design constraint, because it leads to terrible design practices, this may be justifiable in your circumstances.

Issue 3 has the theme of accessibility and internationalisation. It features articles on WAI and a project to create a world wide virtual library of music braille. We would like the magazine itself to be accessible, and are using style sheets for some (but not all) of the formatting. Unfortunately I'm having problems with a table - when viewing some (but not all) tables in Netscape 4.7 a large amount of white space is displayed before the table. There is no problem in IE. The article is at: http://www.exploit-lib.org/issue3/nfp-websites/ The problems relate to Tables 2 and 3. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? Comments also welcome on the accessibility of the magazine in general (there will be a EC review of the magazine next month). Thanks Brian PS Exploit Interactive issue 3 will be available at: http://www.exploit-lib.org/issue3/ It will be launched officialy on Monday 25 October - the full functionality isn't there yet and there are still a couple of articles still to arive. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Kelly, UK Web Focus UKOLN, University of Bath, BATH, England, BA2 7AY Email: b.kelly@ukoln.ac.uk URL: http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/ Homepage: http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/ukoln/staff/b.kelly.html Phone: 01225 323943 FAX: 01225 826838 --Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org phone: +1 617 258 0992 http://www.w3.org/People/Charles W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI MIT/LCS - 545 Technology sq., Cambridge MA, 02139, USA
