Mozilla does not fight anything Mozilla et al., follow the rules. MS
does not.

Maybe your are approaching it the wrong way. Some folks try to micro
place every bit right form the start. My advice is like writing a in
general, just write an put is proper structure, paragraphs, headings,
divisions, your content. Then after style it. You would no worry about
cover art, fonts, paper choices and all *before* you started to write
the "Great American Novel". You would first focus on your manuscript right?

Anyway it can be done. My site is very anesthetic--styling is very
important to the nature of my site. It is more stylistically controlled
then many sites need to be and does not use tables for layout and I have
IE cooperating with only one tiny bit accommodation, JavaScript to
assist for IE lack of support for :hover pseudo-class on LI elements.
(There is a .htc file hack I am working on that can rid the JavaScript
reliance)
