Kristof Lipfert Netscape 4 CSS Crossover

Layout may be an important part of the receivable information from a website. Layout is not only additional structure but content. So I am interested to let as many browsers as possible render even tableless layout, and I don't want to hide Stylesheets for some browsers completely. Now it is possible to validly hide the Netscape-4-optimized-CSS from other browsers and Opera 5 too. That means better assumptions to let these browsers use CSS.

Sample from "CSS für alle Browser"

CSS Crossover Test

If this text is green and bold, the browser has applied both rules.

CSS Crossover Syntax


 <style type="text/css">
  /* Author, Designer 2002-2003 Kristof Lipfert Duesseldorf  */
 
   /*/*//*/\{! i{"}

     #test { color:lime; }

     #test { fontweight:900; }

     i{"}
   *}{}/* */
 
 </style>

Aspects of this new Netscape 4 CSS Crossover

  1. Starting at the comment-bug shown by Caio Chassot
  2. CSS crossover for Netscape 4 only. Valid CSS!
  3. Opera 5 is now excluded from the Netscape 4 CSS code too.
  4. Like the new Amaya Versions.
  5. Additioinal safety by using some kind of JavaScript syntax for Netscape 4 only as protection against unknown browsers which might pass the first filters.
  6. No sideeffects on following code found.

Impovements to this Version 4.3:

   /*/*//*/\{! i{}


      *}{}/* */

    

  1.  Blocking Amaya without Parsingerror.

    2.
