Many Web designers run into this problem as they begin to explore the possibilities of Dynamic HTML.
Although the problem was fixed with the release of Netscape 6, you should enable this option if you are
planning to support Netscape 4.x browsers.

CSS Styles preferences
The CSS Styles category (see Figure 4-12) is entirely devoted to how your code is written. As specified by
the W3C, CSS declarations??”the specifications of a style??”can be written in several ways. One method
displays a series of items, separated by semicolons:
H1 {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12pt;
line-height: 14pt;
font-weight: bold;
}
FIGURE 4-12
The CSS Styles category enables you to code the style sheet sections of your Web pages in a graphicsdesigner
??“friendly manner.
Certain properties (such as Font) have their own grouping shorthand, developed to be more readable to
designers coming from a traditional print background. A second, shorthand method of rendering the preceding
declaration follows:
H1 { font: bold 12px/14px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; }
With the CSS Styles category, you can enable the shorthand method for any or all the five different properties
that permit it.
