If you
run into problems developing with CSS, check the
CSS
Support Charts to determine if there is a problem with the browser(s)
you are using. The CSS Support Charts comprise three charts:
Mastergrid, Historical CSS1 Support, and
CSS2 Selectors. The Mastergrid chart looks at current generation
support for CSS1 properties, while the Historical CSS1 Support chart
covers the browsers that support CSS but were launched before 2000.
The CSS2 Selectors chart covers the level of support in browsers for
CSS2 selectors.

Recipe A.2.3 CSS 2.1 Specification
Recipe A.2.3.1 http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/
Browser implementations of the CSS specification are sometimes a
confusing mess. When tracking down how to achieve a certain look or
an implementation bug, check the specification (as well as the CSS
Support Charts).
Recipe A.2.4 HTML 4.01 Specification
Recipe A.2.4.1 http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/
To make the most out of using CSS for web design, you need to create
your web documents with structured markup instead of using
workarounds and hacks. Furthermore, you need to mark up your
documents with elements to imply an inherent presentational meaning.
For example, you need to highlight important words using the
em element and not the b
element. If you need to change your production methods, dig into the
HTML
specification and get to know the elements all over again.
Recipe A.2.5 XHTML 1.0 Specification
Recipe A.2.5.1 http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/
Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML)
is a restructuring of HTML 4 in XML 1.0. Although XHTML markup is
stricter than that of HTML 4, the benefits are simple: more logical
markup, increased interoperability, and enhanced accessibility.
