I'm shocked that this is a new idea for a "web design trainer" such as
yourself; I am, nevertheless, happy I could help.

(The coupling of JavaScript and CSS is as far as I know a Netscape

Great! I would recommend that you change your HTML and CSS to a form
that is valid according to the current standards while you're at it.
That way you won't have to worry about browsers in the future (as long
as they are standards compliant, and currently the trends seems to go
towards getting closer and closer to that for all browsers).
If, for instance, MSIE from the next version started to guess that you
meant "em" when you didn't write anything after a number in css, your
pages would start looking very odd. But if you put "px" when you want
pixels and "em" when you want that, you won't have to worry about that
ever, not even in the future.
Make the web a better place - make standards conformant websites.
Peruse at convenience, will or whatever:
