When in doubt, roll it out.

Here’s the update to yesterday’s adventure in tweaking style sheets for the most persistent of obsolete browsers, Netscape 4. After a bit more futzing, the changes have been rolled out on the Veer site. It’s not perfect, but it looks a damn sight better in Netscape 4 than it did 24 hours ago. In the process of getting certain chunks of the CSS to work, I discovered that some configurations of IIS will not serve up images that are a few thousand pixels in one dimension. Solution? Don’t use images that are a few thousand pixels in one dimension for background images. Yeesh. I also managed to merge two secondary style sheets into the primary one and stripped out a pile of other browser-specific and deprecated code. If you don’t need it, get rid of it honey. Feeling adventurous? Fire up that old copy of Communicator and have at it. But please let me know if you uncover any weirdness that renders the site completely unusable, because that would probably be a bad thing.
