It does sound backwards, however I disagree with the ideal world
part because I think it make logical sense. It's the standard backwards
It is, in my experience, best to start with the closest implementation
to the standards you can find (in this case I choose Firefox/Gecko) and
then code for the exceptional cases. If you start from an outlying
position (for example IE 5/Win) and then try to work the other way you

Opera's support of form styling was (unitl recently) totally lacklustre. I'm

I use Firefox, in combination with Chris Pederick's Web Developer
extension (http://www.chrispederick.com/work/firefox/webdeveloper/), as
