Check out their information on using style sheets properly without killing lower browsers. Start with issue no. 99.

Additionally, check out webstandards.org for the whole story.

If you use a combination of style sheets and font tags font compatibility is fairly straightforward. Making some of the other components (particularly the DHTML) degrade nicely in 4- browsers will be a bit more difficult. There are a bunch of cross compatible style sheet guides out there. I think webmonkey.com has a good one (if I recall correctly).

You mean to make different style sheets for each and every browser version?

The tag is not obsolete yet...

It worked for me also. Style sheets are great but I never suggest relying on them entirely. It would be a little time consuming but not impossible to make this site degradable for v3 browsers and Linux, WebTV, etc.

I'm honestly not sure whether this is a problem with Netscape or whether it's just your computer. When I visited the page in Netscape 4.75, it displayed correctly for me, so I don't know what to tell you...

You might try putting a link in a visible position on the Netscape page so the user can report a problem if they experience it also, that way you can get an idea of the number of people who encounter some sort of problem. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but this is the first I've heard of such an issue.
