Download Topstyle Lite (free from bradsoft.com). On the right pane there is a selector for the itteration of CSS to use. If you use one for IE6 etc youll have better functionallity and less CSS code but if you use on from say IE5 youll have more CSS code, less functionallity BUT also better CSS for cross browser display.

These days you basically HAVE to have a Firefox compliant CSS. Another way to do it is write a CSS optimized for every browser on every platform (yes IE on PC is slightly different from IE on MAC. IE on MAC is closer to Netscape on PC) and then load the correct CSS based on a browser detect.

No!!

Topstyle lite does not write your css for you... What happens when you select one of the css versions is that the list of attributes will change to those supported in that version.

I would choose either css1 or css2 and get it working with that, it should then be cross browser

You shouldn't be coding CSS for a particular browser. You should be devloping in line with the spec .

You can check your CSS's appearance using KHTML or WebCore, but since neither of those engines (which are 99% compliant with the spec) is available for the Windows platform, you'll have to check it with either Presto or Gecko (Opera and Firefox/Mozilla). NEVER test solely or initially in IE

Then you make changes to accomodate "lesser" browsers, such as IE.
