This site [css.nu] is coming to my rescue a lot lately. The information is gleaned from the css newsgroups, and the workarounds presented seem to be very accurate.

It's the first place I got help with "loss of style" on Netscape. That is, sometimes after a table tag or form tag, Netscape loses all style and defaults to user preferences. Can be very ugly!

The workaraound is to use redundant selectors -- something I would never have thought of doing on my own.

Another nice tidbit -- the problem: 13pt and 14pt type are rendered the same size. The fix: declare 14.1pt type. Again, I never would have tried it.

Even after five years, it's still very hard for me to adapt to the slushy way a lot of web coding works. I majored in math, and have an assumption that coding should be logically rigorous. Maybe someday.
