[WEB4LIB] RE: CSS help

[Kevin W. Bishop]

Please correct me if I'm wrong ...

but I believe that (non-NN4.x) browsers that recognize the @import 
statement will give that style sheet higher precedence than the linked 
style sheet, but the latter will still affect the cascade, the rendering of 
the document.

We're using a similar hack, yet our "nn4.css" sheet required so many 
NN-specific declarations that the renderings in the other browsers 
suffered.  So we decided to detect user agents w/JavaScript in order to a) 
give any NN4.x browser a sheet written exclusively for its needs, and b) 
allow other browsers to ignore the NN-specific sheet.

No, it's not pretty, but we're squeaking by ...
