You'd think my name was Murphy, or something.

I've read that to hide style sheets from NS 4, you do certain things. That's
great. But what if you need to hide NS 4 style sheet from new browsers? I
was trying to do a style sheet for NS 4, and it was horrible but better than
nothing, but IE 6 saw it and the page didn't render properly in IE 6.
It was not seeing the imported style sheet at all.

This is what I had in the HTML:

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen"
href="ns4111403granat.css" />

<style type="text/css">
@import url(111403granat.css);
</style>

If there is anything in the NS4 style sheet you don't want the others to see
then respecify that in the 'other' style stheet.

For example, say you want a red background in for NS but white for the
others:

In ns4.css: body {background: red}

In other.css: body {background: white}

The 'other' browsers will see both but the second specification takes
precidence.

Cheers
Richard.

Either over-ride things as Richard suggests, or don't use a CSS file for
Netscape 4 -- use JSSS instead. This is a styling mechanism *only*
supported by Netscape 4.x, so other browsers will simply ignore it.

I thought that's what I did -- I just tweaked the stylesheet named
111403granat.css.
Thus, ns4111403granat.css has fewer styles, but the names are the same.
Maybe it's the jungle of <div> tags in the HTML that's throwing it off? I
have to redo the whole thing at some point because I've thrown in too many
<divs> just to achieve spacing. Could that be the problem?

It's rather a luxury to be worrying about NS 4 for me, so this is not a huge
deal. I just thought that if it were possible to make the page look better
than just default text in NS4, I might as well try it.

Thanks.

You're still torturing yourself Bonnie!
Is anyone still using ns4 likely to be in your target audience?

LOL. I just got caught up with other stuff and had a few spare moments and
thought I'd try it. I noticed just now that Netscape tells me to upgrade my
browser (4.79) if I want to view their shopping pages. I think I'll just
forget about it. ; )

That slash at the end of the link line might mess it up?.....


<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen"
href="ns4111403granat.css">

<style type="text/css">
@import url(111403granat.css);
</style>

That was it, Adam. I'm using XHTML which requires that ending slash, and I
have it on all the other pages, but when I removed it, it worked fine.

THANK YOU. However, now I realize that the NS 4 stylesheet is really awful.
LOL.  I would have to clean it up to actually go ahead and do it.

But thank you for solving that mystery. I'm surprised that was it,
because...er...ah...I did what the spec calls for. LOL.

Adam,
I thought it was the answer, but I was mistaken. Oh, well. Thanks, anyway.

Strange, I downloaded the page and the stylesheet 111403granat.css seems to
work in IE6 (but maybe you changed something?)
There's an error ( "}" too much) in the ns-CSS.
In IE6 I see: http://www.nicoschuyt.nl/test/bonnie_ns.jpg
In NS47 it looks very bad (worse than without CSS :-)
