 With Netscape 4.7x on Linux and Windows, I see a lot of vertical
 whitespace in some places, e.g. directly after PHP Core there's a
 screen full of nothing.

Please disregard my previous post - your current version 1.22 of css.c
looks great, at least in Netscape 4.x, Opera 6.0 and Mozilla 1.2a on
Linux.

It looks pretty much identical to the way it did before in MSIE 5+ and
NS 6+ and Mozilla.  It only looks ugly (i.e. not as nice as before) in
NS 4.x, a broswer that almost no one uses anymore.

  Indeed, why did you have to change it? Just to get CSS in there?


As I said, it was to reduce the size of the file considerably.

Just out of curiosity, what was the size before/after?

I guess my other question is how far back are we willing to care about
browser compatability?  Netscape 4.7 is now 3 years old and accounts for
less 5% of the traffic we've seen at easyDNS in the last year (I don't
think the stats program at www.php.net tracks browsers unfortunately).

I must have missed some discussion where it was decided to change
this..? Can't seem to find any in the archives either.

And why is there even need to change it? It has worked fine (for ANY
browser) for very long time now.

  The latest changes by Colin are a big improvement, IMHO. It really
  looks better now.

There wasn't.

 And why is there even need to change it? It has worked fine (for ANY
 browser) for very long time now.

I was simply trying to reduce the amount of HTML that phpinfo()
generated, and moving to a CSS formatting model acheived that while
still maintaining compatability for current browsers.

My question back would be how many people here *really* care what the
output looks like?  Is anyone making that info available in a production
 site?  I doubt it.  I'm guessing this page is almost exclusively used
for debugging purposes by site developers, or other diagnostic reasons
... in which case as long as the info is there and legible, I don't see
the issue.

However, if there are, then you can easily replace the stylesheet with
your own style to skin the page ... something that would've been much
more difficult with the old version.  The HTML itself in the current
page is as plain as it gets, pretty much.

If we want a truly cross-browser phpinfo() page, it should be text-only
or plain, unformatted, uncoloured tables.
