Browser Support
For years, web designers and developers grappled with inconsistencies in the ways browsers supported HTML, but eventually, reliable support for nearly the entire HTML 4.01 Recommendation arrived. Now, the browser developers are working on getting up to speed with CSS, so support of some features (particularly in the newer CSS 2.1 Recommendation) are buggy and inconsistent across browsers.
Chapter 25 specifically addresses the most notorious browser bugs and how to deal with them, but you’ll also find browser alert notes when appropriate for each property in Chapters 18 through 23.

West Civ provides free support charts online for properties tested on IE, Netscape, and Opera. A complete, more detailed report is available for a nominal fee.
