CSS Importance Declaration: !important

Platforms Demonstrating Problem

Netscape Navigator 4 (all platforms)

Description of Problem

The !important declaration is not supported by Netscape Navigator 4. Declarations using !important may be assigned the incorrect weight. In some rare cases, the declaration may be entirely ignored -- this sometimes happens if ther is no space between the declaration and the !important modifier, as in color: red!important

Possible Workaround(s)

Make sure to leave a space between the declaration content and the !important modifier. Test to make sure the document is readable when declarations marked !important are removed from the stylesheet.
