Hey all 
This is my first time here so thought I should introduce myself first before asking my question. My name is Bruce and I am only 5 days old when it comes to CSS hehe.
I have read so much about CSS over the last 5 days and most of it is contradictory. What I do notice is that CSS2 seems to obviously have a lot more scope for designers.
I have also read that CSS2 is not widely supported yet. But it was implemented with IE5 which is the worlds most commonly used browser which then stands that it is widely supported by most surfers. i.e Most surfer can see CSS2.
I hope I explained that well enough.
Does anyone have any definate ansers on this? Can CSS2 be seen by most surfers?
Thanks for your time and nice to meet you allIn fact, IE6 still doesn't properly support CSS2. The best bet here is to use CSS2 for real browsers (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/">http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/</a><!-- m -->), then make it degrade gracefully for insufficient HTML renderers (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp">http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp</a><!-- m -->)IE has a reputaion for going against the grain when it comes to standards. The only reason it is so popular (that I can see) is because it comes with the most popular OS.
IE implements certain things very wrong, the box model being one. There have been a number of hacks developed for IE but even they cannot ever produce the same effects in IE that can be produced in other browsers without such hacks. For example (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/slantastic/demo.html">http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/s ... /demo.html</a><!-- m -->).
I'd follow Sam's advice if I were you.Thanks both guys Very much appreciated and I will definately look more into it.
Thanks again
