CSS 3: Next Generation Style Sheet Language

August 20, 2008 · Filed Under Web Development · Comment 

Cascading style sheet or CSS is very helpful when formating and designing web pages. I learned CSS/CSS 2.0 on my first job using Notepad and converting all rtf files, code it to html and applied the css for styling and positioning. I read on WebMonkey’s website that CSS 3.0 is out but the specification document still isn’t finalized. The new features of CSS 3 are rounded corners, borders with gradient, drop shadows, image tricks using mask and more.

Browser manufacturers have already started rolling out support for many of the new features even if they aren’t yet set in stone. Opera and Safari have been leading the way when it comes to CSS 3 features, but Firefox 3 packs in a few and 3.1 promises to bring Firefox alongside the others. Users of Internet Explorer are out of luck. Although, there’s no reason you can’t use some rounded corner properties solely for your Firefox/Opera/Safari visitors. IE will still render the backgrounds as usual, it just won’t understand the rounded corner bit.
