Summary

CSS2 provides all the facilities necessary to completely remove the last vestiges of HTML/XHTML table-based layout. Unfortunately, the standard isn't fully supported even by many modern browsers. While major areas such as positioning and layering of content are well- supported even in old browsers, important properties such as min-height , min-width , max-height , and max-width are not. Even more troubling is that without full CSS2 support the browser vendors have already started to introduce proprietary features. It would seem that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Eventually, most of these issues will become less troubling, but by that point, you may be asking: why just strive for a print-style layout when fully programmed pages are possible? The next chapter begins to address the transition from static Web pages to programmed pages, beginning with forms.
