One of the comments left on the site for that article made me spill Diet Coke everywhere. Too funny: CSS is an arcane, poorly implemented technology that reacts very differently not only on different platforms and different browsers, but also on different versions of the same browser on the same platform. That's analagous to saying: 'This tennis ball is rubbish, it works fine when I hit it with a tennis racquet, but when I try to hit it with this fresh turd, the ball doesn't go anywhere and I get covered in crap.
