If Netscape/Mozilla and IE do not implement all of the CSS standards then is
there a browser that does implement all of the CSS standards (maybe Opera?)?
If not, is CSS really a standard?

Curiously,

Thomas

While I don't think Netscape/Mozilla fully implements all of the CSS
standards, it is definitely ahead of IE 5.5 in this regard  IE 5.x browsers
screw up the "box
model" for CSS-2 meaning that those of us who have tried to use CSS for page
layout and placement have had to workaround IE 5.x if we want our pages to
layout
properly.  We'll see how well IE 6 meets the standards in the very near
future.
