If your so hot then why doesnt your site work in NS4x???
Well first, Curt, I’m cool, not hot. Don’t get me wrong, I want to be hot. But first I’ll practice being cool for a while and once I’ve warmed up I’ll try hot.
Second, there are a lot of people in this world who will judge you by your spelling. I’m one of them. Sorry, but you caught me on a bad day.
Finally, the answer to your question is just over to the left, in the colophon. Look under the heading called CSS. It says:
Antipixel uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) so it could look weird (but should still be readable) if you’re using a smelly old obsolete browser.
I hate to tell you this, but when it comes to CSS, Netscape 4.x is squarely in the category of “smelly old obsolete browser.” You then have to make the tough choice of whether to click on one of the links I’ve provided to standards-compliant browsers so you can see this site arrayed in all its CSS glory. (It’s worth it, believe me! CSS has the power to change your life.)
Life’s too short to support non-standards compliant browsers, Curt, and I’ve got enough bugs to fix in this version as it is. ;-)

Exactly! Or to quote A List Apart, “To Hell With Bad Browsers”. See http://www.alistapart.com/stories/tohell/
Why waste time supporting non-compliant Browsers which limit design and portability. After all, newer, more compliant Browsers are available for free. Curt, if you want a good web experience, trade up to a 21st century Browser.
