CSS3

Tweet Earlier this year we asked if you still want more out of CSS 3 and we found that you did. Of late, we are seeing the dialogue rekindled time and again with great posts being written on other major blogs. Smashing Magazine contributor Inayaili de Leon provides code samples and insight on: using browser-specific […]

Tweet Opera have announced the first Alpha release of the next version of their browser. Codename Peregrine features version 2.2 of their Presto rendering engine, which boasts 100% Acid 3 compliance, a 30% speed boost on certain sites, and a number of new features for web developers. As CSS enthusiasts it’s the latter we’re interested […]

Tweet As you can’t have failed to notice, Google released their Chrome browser today. Chrome is based on the same version of Webkit as Safari 3.1 so should in theory have the same level of CSS support, although based on the very brief usage I’ve had of it so far it seems that text-shadow and […]

Tweet Just a flying update, to provide some links of interest (with little-to-no comment): Firefox 3.1’s release date has been pushed back a little; I understand that, CSS-wise, Transforms and Web Fonts are the current blockers. John Resig takes a look at the implementation of border-image in FF 3.1 (with examples supplied by us) The […]

Tweet Firefox 3 isn’t quite out yet, but already there are some exciting plans for CSS implementation in future versions. FF3.1 should see all the selectors (test them here), @media queries, text-shadow, font-stretch, and downloadable web fonts with @font-face; FF4 should add calc() and attr() values, along with the Animation and Transitions modules proposed by […]

Tweet Over at Design Shack they’re four posts into the five-post Introduction to CSS3, which covers Borders, Text Effects, the User Interface and (coming soon) Multiple Columns. A nice intro to the subject if our own examples are too complicated for you :p The new owners of the Fonts and Web Fonts modules, Jason Cranford […]

Tweet Jason Cranford Teague has volunteered to edit the CSS Basic UI, CSS Hyperlink Presentation, CSS Fonts and CSS Web Fonts modules and is looking for feedback from users on the latter two. He asks: Tell me what you think are some of the font styles and features missing from the current specification. What do […]

Tweet The CSS WG had a face-to-face meeting in San Diego last month, and have released their latest resolutions in a series of posts on their blog: Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V, Part VI Some of the highlights I saw on my first read through: Apple’s proposed animation & transition […]

Tweet One of the interesting things about Acid 3 is that it tests parts of the CSS3 Colour and CSS3 Selectors modules, that are a part of the 2007 CSS snapshot. Now that both Opera and WebKit pass the standards part of the Acid 3 test, the support for the snapshot has now also improved. […]
