WebTV CSS support list

Since WebTV does not support @import, it could be safe to say that using
@import for real browsers(excludes NNold too) would be good then using a
scaled down one for webTV might work.

Though I do not like advocating separate browser sheets unless a user
selects a change, this might be an option for those of you that need to
code pages for MSN webTV.

Support is really iffy, and this comes from MS, webTV, which may have
somehow taken over the web tv market?

seems WebTV does not support, a few key things...
font: style is Not supported
Font-family: only 2 supported = * Only sans serif and monospace are
supported. (So do not use Serif fonts on WebTV pages.)
it does not support the basic style "color: "
border-style = Only the solid attribute is supported.
Background is not supported,
Background-color is supported but only applies to the background behind
any text, does not fill the box or division.

and there are many other quirky things it uses as CSS.

maybe there could be a cute little tv icon with alt text in a corner,...
