I found the series of articles on CSS compatibility at www.webreview.com helpful in sorting out the incompatibilities and finding a middle ground that would work. -- Loren ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neil Burnett" <neil@efc.be> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: July 15, 2000 12:40 PM Subject: [Zope] ZStylesheet
Warning: This is a 'get it off my chest' e-mail.
Well, I am going to give up with CSS. I am sure ZStylesheet is a fine product, its just that CSS implementations lets it down.
I have struggled for ages to get anything more sophisticated than font-family* to work on both IE5 and Netscape 4.6 - no chance. It seems they have both implemented CSS from a different hymn sheet :-( Basically, nothing to do with sizes works the same, and it boils down to Netscape ignoring the inheritance model of CSS. table rows and cells are a particular mystery.
If anyone has cracked it and has developed a ZStylesheet which can second guess both browsers, please let me know. Until then, I will go back to using <font size="12pt"> or whatever. Shame, but I have more interesting things to worry about.
Regards
Neil
*even font-family doesn't work for the BODY selector. Tables in Netscape ignore it so you have to use BODY TR TD as the selector.
