"In an ideal world we'd write our (X)HTML and CSS once and it would work perfectly for all browsers. In the real world different browsers and platforms render our creations slightly or drastically different, depending on how adventurous we get with our (X)HTML and CSS. To combat these browser peculiarities developers have adopted a number of coping strategies, including: @import to hide more advanced styles from older browsers (Netscape 4.x etc.) CSS hacks (voice-family, escapes, "Tantek hacks," and other techniques) Conditional CSS While the

If you've had difficulties getting your web page to display correctly in more than one browser, you're not alone.

There are few things as sweet as a promise kept, and nothing so bitter as one that isn't. In 1996, style sheets promised us incredible opportunities for control over Web document presentation. But that promise has been only partially fulfilled, making our relationship with style sheets bittersweet. Style sheets are advantageous in that they let you manage, update, and change large sites easily, and elegantly control visual effects.
