Browser compatibility warnings and help

Where appropriate, Layout Master's editors feature one or two buttons for each property. Every property features a help button, Help which opens a floating help window, with full details about what the property actually does.

When a property is not supported by a particular browser, the Compatibility button opens the browser compatibility window which details the problem that these browsers have with that property.
