Thanks, I think it mainly has to do with the base tag which doesn't seem to
work in Netscape, I just installed v6 and the links don't work right it
keeps looking in the current directory instead of the base directory, silly
netscape

Had a look with Amaya, colours are ok, fonts are too small. In the 
stylesheet I changed the font-size for the body to 1.25em; and all 
looked ok, also in IE5.
Also the column width isnt right in Amaya, didn't look into that any 
further.

Netscape 4.x supports stylesheets if JavaScript is enabled, but in this case
"supports" is a fairly flexible term!  I think the main problem is that
Netscape doesn't give child elements of the document body the body's font
styles.  That means when you use paragraphs, quotes, table cells, etc.
(without specifying styles for these) POV-Ray uses the default style (i.e.
black serif font), rather than inherited styles.

The solution is to explicitly specify the basic font styles for all the
elements that will use them, e.g.:

body, p, td, blockquote {
   font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
   font-size: 0.25em;
   color: #eeeeee;
   }

Anything specific to the body or table cells, etc., can then go in their own
styles.

...or whose been answering too many POV-related questions, and not
raytracing enough (it's in the fingers, you know!).

What!?! But that's a terrible bug!

BTW IMHO it would be better to use relative sizes rather than fixed sizes
for fonts.

Followups to o.t.

Thanks for the comments.

OK, I've made quite a few changes and it should now work in Netscape,
although I've only checked it in v6. It should even be readable (though
awful looking) with style sheets turned off. Could someone check to see if
it loks ok now, cheers

Looks good now (Netscape 4.7).
