Though not a substitute for real-world testing, the Browser Compatibility Check feature can help
you pinpoint potential issues and problematic code at design time.
Dreamweaver checks for 16 common CSS errors across the full range of browsers. When the error is
detected, a brief description appears in the Browser Compatibility Check category of the Results panel. In
addition, a link to a more in-depth discussion of the error, complete with possible solutions, on the Adobe
hosted CSS Advisor mini-site is made available.
The errors and a brief description are listed in Table 30-1:
