Q: My fonts are too small on Mac!

A: Without seeing your page, this is all guess-work, but you are probably using px or pt units for your font-size values. Mac OS browsers and screen configurations generally result in font sizes that are relatively smaller than on Windows systems for these length units. In any case, it is more appropriate to use % or em length values for fonts on the World Wide Web and this will allow users to adjust font sizes to their preferences using their browser font settings.

Q: What can I do if my CSS file is corrupted?

A: If your CSS file is corrupted, you will need to recover a copy from a backup version of some kind. Many text editors create a backup when you edit a file; the application's configuration settings may indicate where you can find the backup.

Q: Netscape 4 doesn't show my background image, what's up?

A: Netscape has a bug regarding the placement of background images with relative file references and assumes the reference is relative to the source document, not the external CSS file, as it should be. Most other browsers get it right, so the way to work around is...
