Hello. I am a student interested in computing and programming, yet not enough 
to be able to help directly in your codes. I just want to submit 2 ideas for 
increasing cross-browser CSS compatilibility:

- most pages use <... style="...visibility:'hidden'"...> tags (with some "'"s 
that makes the "hidden" become a string) yet Mozilla does not recognise 
them... That's a first thing that may be improved
- also, IE recognises if you directly do "example.style.visibility='hidden'" 
whereas a "document.example." needs to be specified with Mozilla... May be 
this could be changed to recognise both forms in order to make HTML become 
a "real standard"...

What do you say?

we say that websites need to follow standards.

if you want to discuss this further, the newsgroups or mozillazine forums would
be a better place (although you should start by searching for previous
discussions, as this is a subject which is discussed a lot)
