Here's an interesting mess: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid3#References http://acid3.acidtests.org/ This test is based around the web standards. By the looks of things, not even a large portion of the "good stuff" works properly with modern browsers. It is nice to note how the different browsers stack up, though. They all can handle the valid html and xhtml, like you said, and most can handle CSS just fine, but once you get into xml, svg, javascript, or DOM--boy, it's a mess. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
