I found this site which really shows the great new techniques and standards coming our way in HTML5 and CSS3. Although it's a Mozilla site, most of this stuff is also available in Safari, Chrome and Opera. Pretty cool if you spend a few minutes looking at past articles. Of course, none of it will work in IE8 and doubtful it will work in IE9 judging from what I read on the IEBlog but, hopefully, IE won't be around in a few years. Since Microsoft won't even include IE in Windows7 in Europe, and IE is already down to 50% usage in parts there now, that may be the "tipping point" I've been waiting for and the web can rush forward.
Thanks drhowarddrfine, ive just bookmarked it, it looks handy. Yeah theres such frustration now with IE, no matter where im reading its more or less the same feeling regarding IE, Its still going to take a little time but it appears to be a dragged out farewell for it, i think it just wants to make sure that web designers/developers never ever forget it Something to tell the future generations about, lol
thats hack depend on mozilla properties. Maybe we should strict to general terms for HTML5 and css3 for major browsers (as you said above)... Well,.. my self strict to use FX in development and debug (use firebug) then goes to Opera to re-check the design. Thats help much and saving a time to learn all new feature in CSS3 and HTML5
I just wish full CSS2.x was implemented, let alone CSS3. My biggest wish list are browsers handling SVG graphics (for us inkscape users) and for embedding fonts, so we can safelyuse something other than the least common denominator or SIFR/cuffin
What do you use that FF3 does not implement? As stated, webkit and Firefox have handled SVG for many years and now FF handles embedded fonts.
Funny thing is, I want the exact OPPOSITE. I want the ability to say I want scripts run (and/or the CSS loaded) BEFORE the browser even THINKS about rendering.
