Over the past few days (it is May 15 2000 while I write this) I have been converting many of my old "HTML tricks" (which are allowed by the standards) to the proper way of doing things: Cascading Style Sheets. In doing this, I have noticed that many web browsers out there just aren't up to snuff. Netscape Communicator 4.x, for example, seems to think that URLs specified in stylesheets should be relative to web pages, and not the stylesheets themselves. The CSS standard says "Thou shalt make all URLs relative to the style sheet" and Communicator just blindly goes and does something else! What kind of morons are writing web browsers these days? (To Netscape's credit, Mozilla displays the proper behavior.)

So, many visitors to this web site may find that the backgrounds don't seem right, or the bullets have gone south, or whatever. THIS IS YOUR BROWSER'S FAULT, NOT MINE! Everyone should be using Konqueror by now, anyway.

Editor's note: hey, it looks like Konqueror/KHTML finally won! Too bad it's called Chrome now.
