A This FAQ has been answered by David Baron in ciwas several times, and his answer is now appended to the Not-a-faq.
A: Amaya, Emacs-w3, Internet Explorer 3x+, Netscape Navigator 4x+, and Opera 3.5+
A: See explanation
A: See explanation
A: External CSS [example], Embedded CSS [example], Inline CSS [example], or Imported CSS [example].
A: Required in a font-family declaration, when the font name includes whitespace, and optional in URLs referenced by style sheets.
A: Wrap in a <DIV> with text-align: center [example]
A:
As defined in HTML 4.0,
<DIV>, a block element should contain other block-level elements, while <SPAN>, an inline element,
may not contain block-level elements. [example]
A: The CLASS property is useful for declaring site-wide or document-wide characteristics which are identical. A single class may be applied to many different elements. ID should be unique to a single declaration and has the most specificity for inheritance purposes.
A: An egregious bug. For the "fix" see Resize.
A: So that you'd have a challenge ;-) If all else fails, wrap the entire form in a <DIV>...</DIV> which is styled with the rules you want applied. [example]
A: See example.
A: You can pull the stylesheet out of your cache. In the directory where your copy of Netscape resides, you should have a folder 'Users'; in that folder should be another folder with your screen name; in that folder should be another folder "cache". You could create a shortcut to this folder on your desktop, or simply open the cache and look at the files there. You might want to select 'View -> details' so that CSS files are easily identified with 'Hyper Text Style Sheet' shown as the description. Be sure to associate the file type 'css' with either the editor you normally use or with any text editor (e.g. Notepad, Wordpad). Then, you may save the CSS to your hard disk. Modify at will. *Please* don't link to the stylesheet resident on someone else's server. Doing so may actually cost them money, depending on how their IP charges, and is considered _rude_ as well. If you plan to use a stylesheet created by someone else, you might like to ask permission first. Oh...and don't forget to apply for a license from Microsoft, which holds the patent :-(
