Just wanted to say I love Vienna Teng (she is definitely one of my three favorite singers), I love Julia Ecklar too (another one of my top three), and we have such a similar taste in music. :) Anyways, to leave an on-topic (however delayed) response to your blog entry, Firefox for me barely supports any CSS. I've coded some nice pages in CSS and none of it shows on Firefox. I switched over to Opera. But there are some types of tables and graphics that Opera will not show, and will never print. I stopped using IE because for me it became ridiculously slow and unreliable. I read your entry from a while ago about your music tastes, but comments were closed on it.

Can anyone confirm or deny that it does that? My guess is that FrontPage thought that table{color:transparent} would hide table borders in some browser. Can anyone confirm or deny that it does that?

I can't really imagine where such a bug could come from. Has anyone had a look at *why* frontpage would produce such strange CSS code? I can’t really imagine where such a bug could come from.
