How to fix problems is "not straightforward.” CSS Advisor is not entirely an altruistic service, however. “There hasn’t been a central destination to resolve browser compatibility issues,” Berger says. With CSS Advisor, Adobe has seeded a Web site with useful information, has tagged the content, and hopes a community will sprout up to will contribute to and maintain the knowledge base.
