Default HTML/CSS Question


Hi if I want to have as many browsers including older browsers view my
sites is CSS or HTML or a site with both in it my best bet.

Thanks,

Rob

If you want to support really really old browsers, like before version 3
(netscape and IE that is and any others that were written in the last
century) then don't use CSS.

If you want to support browsers before even that, like pre version 1, then
don't use HTML. Just use plain text.

If you want to support the real world then use HTML *and* CSS.

Or, use it in a way that can be hidden from those older browsers so they
only get unstyled HTML, which should be all they need to use the site.

You can't create a website with just CSS; its a presentation layer which
doesn't hold any content.

Use HTML to structure the site, then use CSS to describe the desired look.

Pah. My site works nicely in Netscape 1.1 and it uses XHTML and CSS.
