Results of my CSS tests

Note: Not all of my test pages are listed here.

Key

U Untested (possibly because the test isn't written yet) or unknown
Y Yes. (i.e., entirely supported)
N Not Supported†
P Partially Supported†
B Buggy
BB Buggy in a way much more serious than the other browsers marked as buggy.
D Destroys feature. That is, it's not implemented, but buggy error handling causes bizarre interpretation.†
M Maybe (i.e, other bugs prevent proper testing)
C Crashes

† - Only possible on tests of “non-basic features.”

Lowercase letters, such as b, show very minor bugs. Parentheses show that I disagree with the spec, and the result would be different if the spec were the way I want it.
