Well, colors work fine across all browsers that I've been able to test with. More advanced features aren't consistent, but some things that I've not had any real problems with:
- Colors
Well, everything works great in these new CSS mockups except for one thing. NETSCRAPE DOESN'T SET THE COLORS FOR THE BODY TAG! Yes. I'm using Netscrape 4.5 and when I specify a style sheet like "BODY { background-color: #000000; color: #FFFFFF }", Netscrape doesn't set the page background to black and text to white. I don't know whether or not MSIE does because my copy of MSIE5 bombs as soon as it is launched (it's running on WinNT, what do you expect! :-), so could someone please check it out (CSS mockup 3 is the one that should have a black background for the page) with MSIE (versions 3, 4, and 5) and let me know what it does?
Anyway, go check out the new CSS mockups at www.Dionysia.org/temp/mailman/ and let me know what you think.
- Font size, especially relative (never use absolute)
I always specify type size in ems, which is the ideal relative type size measurment unit.
