Re: FN-FORUM: Sitecheck - Updating my website - using CSS

You'll appreciate that this is pretty difficult for me to do as I am on a
Mac, and I cannot get anything above IE5



First off - I am not principally a web designer, I want to design something
that is aesthetically compatable with the work I am doing, I have read
various bits of source code and articles regarding css - why does it not
work, also I keep hearing that internet explorer is basically rubbish at
displaying css, so I didn=B9t really expect it to work, is this not true

Can anyone point me to some relevant articles then please ...
