Also, I have read (but not verified) that Netscape version 4 variants do not like spaces between the parts of a style declaration - they sometimes cause odd behavior or cause parts of the style specification to be ignored. I think this may apply to space before or after colons and semi-colons. I try to remember to eliminate all such whitespace just in case. Netscape 4 variants also don't necessarily apply a body style (i.e., ".mystyle") to a table cell ("td.mystyle"). This quirk ("feature"?) is reflected in Marty's example, above.
