Basic CSS text properties supported in Netscape 4.x?

I am finding that the "font-family" property is not respected by NN
4.79 on the PC. However, various documentation sources say that
"font-family" IS supported in Netscape.

For example:

p {
color: #5f5f5f;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: .7em;}

On Netscape the color and font size are redered as specified, but the
font is Times. Helvetica and Arial are available on the system.
Moreover, the style appears properly in IE 6.

Am I setting up the style wrong? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,

Ethan

Since you didn't give us a URL about all we can do is suggest that
you validate both your HTML and your CSS. Invalid one or the other
is the most common explanation for two browsers doing different
things. (Browser bugs are a close second, of course.)

Folks, I'm still learning javascript - I've invested in a couple of books and reading online as much as possible. I'm pretty sure what I am suggesting is possible though I'm trying to weigh up the faults that might go with the suggestion... all opinions welcome. My question: I have a list of links that go to pages that have a similar layout. Could I have a text swap, similar to what I've seen with image swaps (or an image switch)...

In some old Javascript we have, we try to determine whether the client is IE or Netscape (assume for the purposes of this question that the question can be resolved satisfactorily) and tailor the script to it: var myOpen=open(url, 'subWin', 'width=600, height=400,*A*resizable=1,scrollbars=1' ); if ( myOpen && !myOpen.closed ) { myOpen.focus(); } *B*

I'm not a javascript guy, but the use of this banner rotator script has given me fits. I know a few causes of the problem thus far, one being the layer tags aren't supported under Netscape 7.1 just the entire 4.X series. Script works fine under IE. I've tried a few things to get it working under Netscape, such as defining a style for the bannerLayer with the style tag, and trying to define the style under the div tag, I've tried the...

I have still yet to see a JavaScript Editor that comes close to reading a good JS book, learing it and using it with a text editor. Anyway, here my recipe for build successfull DHTML Applications: If you want to support only M$ IE stop here and do the following: 1) Install blindfold 2) Repeat the phrase - I love my cage :p Buy the Book: Buy O'Reilly's JavaScript The Definitive Guide

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
