Browsers and Languages
(This section is mainly stolen from http://www.broster.co.uk/about.html because it says everything which has to be mentioned.)
These pages are intended (and designed) to work in any browser. They are written in XHTML v1.1 (W3C Recommendation). All formatting is done with CSS level 2 (W3C Recommendation). By completely separating formatting from content, a browser that does not support CSS2 should render the page fine, just not as well as one that does support CSS2. This also ensures that non-graphical browsers can make sense of the pages.
These pages appear differently on different browsers. This is fundamental to the nature of HTML. People who try to get pages to be the same in several browsers are wasting their time; this is not only very hard, but is completely opposite to the way that HTML works. You should specify the content and let the browser render it how it sees best. Style information is separate. It is useful to consider style information as little more than a hint to the browser to help it render.
The HTML pages validate correctly, so they should work on any browser that is compliant with the W3C HTML standards. The style sheet is also validated, so a CSS2 compliant browser should render these pages well.
For example Opera (which I am using) and Mozilla display these pages well.
However, many non-compliant browsers still make a mess of it. MS Internet Explorer 5 and 6 both have trouble with a few things.
