This is a big problem. I have played around this morning with amaya and dillo. Both do not support style-sheets as they where defined. This makes it nearly impossible to describe the page as I did it and have them displayed properly in those browsers. There several ways to cope with this. One could make different versions for different browsers. This is possible only if the web server supports php (or another pre-processor language). Using php and a modular concept this is less work than is sounds. Many professional pages do that. One could find a set of (html)-statements which are fully supported by all browsers. One could use _fixed_ images for decorations. As I said before I used 9 generated images to produce the window layout. This highly depends one the use of style sheets since the images are small and must been repeated by the browser to draw the whole border. If this is not supported by the browser one could use 4 simpler images together with a background color: +------------------+ +------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +------------------+ +------------------+ In that case the size of the window remains fixed. And the page will look ugly when the user uses font size or a screen resolution which is far away from that for the page was designed to. You can see this quite often. Most times it is said "This page was designed for a screen resolution of 1024x768". I would not like to do that. One could design the page that it looks good in browser which support the standards and look less fancy in other browsers. One need to ensure in that case that the information on the pages is accessable by the other browsers as well. This can be done by choosing the right background colors which will be displayed by the non-standard browsers. Standard browser will overlay the colors by a background image.
