I want to know how can I asure the compatibility between CSS and Netscape 4.x. There is a way that Netscape can read .css?

Thank you.

Although Netscape 4.0 can read CSS, it mangles it quite badly.

The best way to see if something works, unfortunately, is to test it in NS4 and see. However, there are several bug lists which may be able to help you. Consider trying the lists at http://www.richinstyle.com ; these will help you out through most of the worst bugs out there.

Also, you might want to look at [link]http://www.macedition.com[/url], which has compiled a similar list of CSS bugs in OmniWeb and iCab.

Probably the best way to ensure that your site looks halfway decent in Netscape 4 without crashing that pathetic browser is to write two stylesheets, once with basic formatting information and one with advanced CSS information like positioning. Call the advanced one from the basic one with an @import declaration. Since older browsers don't understand @import, this effectively hides the advanced styles from them.

Strictly spoken the answser is NOPE!, if you want to get rid of tables you will have to resort to some kind of hack. Success is not guaranteed. Writing two stylesheets sound reasonable. If you can sniff the browser (server side detection, with PHP), then serve different templates, it's even better.

If you're really into CSS you should read this. If not yet bored

And you should also pray on a regular basis, because, man, you're into serious trouble
