A good XHTML document will look very plain and boring if the browser does not understand CSS. You should get what looks like a default HTML page with no styles at all. NS-4 stuffs this up completely by interpreting some of the CSS, but not all, so colours are unreadable because it does not understand "inherit". At other times it incorrectly interprets parts of the CSS, so "em" measurements (one "em" is the width of a capitol M, or the length of this â dash) are interpreted as "px" (which is between 0.25â0.35mm). Life would be infinitely easier if NS-4 users turned off CSS. *Sigh* -- Michael JasonSmith http://www.ldots.org/
