I can't be bothered with iCab; how badly does it render your z-indices?

By the way, blue is not spelt 'yellow' ...

That's the beauty of CSS: you can spell it however you want.

I don't see a problem in iCab 4.

ICab 3 does this:

Blue is not the sort of thing that can be spelt and is a very different
sort of object to "blue" (one is a colour and the other a linguistic
entity).

And class names cannot, technically, be misspelt at the point of
baptism. So I could not have committed this crime at that point. Once
named, an object can be misnamed and that is a sort of misspelling. But
I did not commit this crime either.

To be fair to you now because of all the brownie points you have built
up with your witty posts, it is true that, had I not decided that blue
looked better against the white background than the initial yellow
earlier on, I would have used "blue" as the class name.

Still, let me change it... <g>

Ah, thanks for that. I was wondering about this and meant to look into
it.

Good grief, you really did change the class name to "blue"! Are you
perverse? I thought I'd go back and find you'd renamed the classes
square1, square2, and square3. Well, OK, then what do you do if you
change your mind and go with rectangles? Let's call them quad1, quad2,
quad3. At least I know you can't make circular or pentagonal DIVs with CSS.

so what?

the *current* version of iCab, 4.0.1, works perfectly!

This v. 4 has been out since what, six months? (I even remember there
was a painful discussion about the beta being accessible only to the
paid users; this was last year)

Would you expect someone here posting Safari (v. 1.0) renders said page
awfully bad?

I think a post with such a negative wrong title passes really dangerous
info about iCab :-(

Since I had an experimental part lobotomy the other day, I do little
things that don't cost much energy to keep the peace.

(In testing some things with html and css, it is often better to name
things in a way that is not good practice for a website. It is often
easier to follow things when "left" and "right" and "yellow" are used
rather than "navigation", "content", "#ffc" for temporary purposes.)

Dear o dear o dear... what a modern practical thing you are!

Please be tolerant of me, I am recovering from my recent experimental
garage attempts at lobotomy. I just thought there may be one or two
other beings in the universe that might find this curiosity mildly
interesting (given the competent track record of iCab in matters css)

I will save myself the trouble of explaining further because there are
people that watch for any tendency on my part to prolixity and are ever
ready to have me locked up.

The truth is that my dance card is so full up with appointments in
killfiles that I simply have not got the time for the straight-jacket in
the white padded cell...
