One of the annoying parts of dealing with a system like typepad is I cannot affect the base html. So I need to write my css based on the html they already have. I've been able to create the button look and now just have to play with colors and size to see how I can make it look better.

How do you legally distinguish standards-compliant from non-compliant anyway? IE is clearly the worst of the bunch, but I'm not aware of a browser that doesn't have any rendering bugs. Would the requirement be be at least as compliant as opera? And if so, how do you measure that? Acid2?
