The w3 group has been promoting style sheets as a
way of getting a more consistant presentation of
documents.......
However practice is far from theory.......
I have a simple style sheet that sets up
BOTH a background color and a transparent gif
to do a fancy left margin .......
what do i get with latst browsers
i.e. 5.0 does both gif and background color correctly
[score a win for the evil empire on this one]
netscape 4.7 displays the gif but uses my browser
default color.
amaya 2.4 displays the gif but not transparently so
the color that wasmade transparent shows up
well this tells me to make sure i use stylesheets on
demo pages only ..... the browsers just aren't ready
yet for predictable results with style sheets ......
good thing i can do all i need to do with frames and
background settings
