[WEB4LIB] Beyond Netscape

[Andrew Mutch]

Jerry,

I always start at what I call the "Unofficial Thomas Dowling CSS Validator" at:

http://maroon.ohiolink.edu/tpd/

To quote from the page, "This page uses markup, formatting, and image standards
that were established in 1996 and 1997 by consensus of the W3C membership,
including all major browser companies. If you cannot see this page clearly,
please contact your browser provider to request a compliant version."
