This would be a useful project: to codify all known differences in CSS support and behaviour between the browsers. DocBook already has the structure needed to support effectivities and it would be fairly easy to add or modify (eg making the vendor attribute IDREFS so you can make robust references to the browser versions <funcsynopsis id="attr" conformance="css2" vendor="ff1.5 ff1.4"> <funcprototype> <funcdef>attr</funcdef> <paramdef>attribute name</paramdef> </funcprototype> <funcsynopsisinfo>Returns the value of the named attribute for the currently-selected element type.</funcsynopsisinfo> </funcsynopsis> ///Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
