MS Frontpage 2003 fully supports CSS. I believe IE 6 does too. FP2k3 is
finally on par with other web site management apps.

John,

Well, I don't really want to get rid of IE. It's just that this behavior was
goofy enough that I'd considered uninstalling and reinstalling until I
figured out that it might be a pirated copy.

Here's a completely different question:

Do you have any feel for the level of acceptance of the Microsoft
enhancements to Cascading Style Sheets? I haven't exactly been like a kid in
a candy store, but they're fun to play with. For example, I've modified a
web page header for a client's web site using two different MS Filters:

http://www.bxwi.com/bxwiwithlights.htm

These two examples use RandomDissolve and Light filters. Of course they only
work with IE. Since my client's web site specifically requires IE, I didn't
worry about cross-platform stuff when I worked up these samples for a new
service (the logo was designed by Janet, by the way).
