Is this in reference to Netscape 6 or Netscape 4? Netscape 4's problems with
CSS are legendary, Netscape 6 has good support for it, as long as you don't
confuse standards-based CSS and the DOM with Microsoft's implementation.
It's up to the developer to take responsibility for understanding the
differences.
A well designed CSS1 page does not require browser-sniffing in the first
place. CSS2 should only be delivered to IE5 and Netscape 6. Don't even
bother trying CSS positioning with Netscape 4. It can be done, but generally
it's impossible to justify spending your clients' money on the effort.
