So how does your favorite browser stack up against its peers for CSS standards compliance? In the latest round of testing CSS & HTML4 compliance (including CSS2) WebTV, Netscape Navigator, MSIE, Mozilla, and Opera reveal interesting results about their standards support - or in some cases, the complete lack thereof.

Out of 104 possible total points, Netscape Navigator scored a -41.5 on the low end while Mozilla had the top score with 38 while Opera came in second, and IE5 ranked a disappointing third.

You can find out more about the testing procedure at David Baron's CSS testing site.

Dan lives a quiet life in the bustling city of Milwaukee, WI. Although he founded what would become evolt.org in 1998, he's since moved on to other projects and is now the owner of Progressive Networks, a Zimbra hosting company based in Milwaukee.

Used Netscape 4.7. way to many lock-ups. I went back to 4.5, much better. I would like to try 4.6 out again, but don't have the download saved.
