Stylesheets are hard

Stylesheets are hard

I've been hacking stylesheets since they first appeared back in the late 90s. But this current project making 20 themes in just stylesheets is the most difficult.

I need to make sure that they work with IE6, IE5.5 and IE5.0 Win. As well as looking good in Mozilla.

Lucky for me, I don't need to consider Safari or any other Mac browsers nor Opera. These themes are for an intranet for the Government and no other browsers are needed.

Still, it's slow. Very, very slow. Make a change — check in four browsers... And of course, making each theme look the same in each browsers is extremely complex. One will, then you change to make it work in another and the first one changes... Repeat and repeat for a whole day, and all you've done for that whole day is one small piece. It's so frustrating.
