      None.

      Some have come close with CSS 2.1 (which actually contains less than
      2.0) - Opera is closest, Gecko not far behind. IE supports most of CSS
      1 but really not a lot of CSS 2.1

        ah such a pity, why can't W3C force all browsers to be fully compliant?

            Because "force" doesn't work on the WWW? Oh, wait, that's a different
            debate.

                Hey, Zach, could you stop that insanity of yours!? You've already
                been pointed - this is not a chat channel. Search for FAQs on
                guidelines for posting to newsgroups. Please, don't reply on that
                one to the newsgroup. If you want to reply - email me (my email
                address is real, although I won't bother to answer you, most probably).

                      I don't think it's too good at some things, don't remember what. But css
                      pages I've done in IE didn't look the same in Firefox, mainly boxes that
                      mattered a lot, so I quit my Foxfire experiments.

                        It's very good at almost everything.

                        You do remember that IE is quite broken when it comes to "boxes" and
                        similar stuff. I would wager that Firefox was correct and IE was
                        wrong. You need to think "design for Firefox and fix quirks for IE."

                          I already told you:[color=blue][color=green]
                          >> Some have come close with CSS 2.1 (which actually contains less than

                          Gecko (which is the rendering engine used by Mozilla, Firefox, Camino,
                          Netscape, etc.) supports most of CSS 2.1 but there are a few bits it
                          doesn't support and there's also all the stuff that's in 2.0 but not
                          in 2.1 that it doesn't support.

                              It has no Special Forces. Perhaps it should?
