Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / CSS / August 2007This group is just the funniest thing I have read for a long while
Guys (and girls if you are here) This group is one of the funniest I have read for a long while. Most of my other lists and groups deal with dull tech stuff like 'how do I stop my parabolic swash pump controller leaking memory all over the thread manager and causing my server to fall over' (answer RTFM). I think it's just great that you all get along so well and kid each other around so much. I'm sitting here in the UK reading this at 11:30 at night rather than being curled up in bed with the wife. She is shouting at me to stop laughing so loud as I'm keeping her awake. Great stuff, and I'm learning loads as well, although I'm slightly dismayed to read that there is a (admittedly fledgling) CSS3 spec out there, good grief, I've only just managed to read a third of the CSS2 spec (and managed to understand considerably less I hasten to add), where will it all end ?

CSS2.1 is in the penultimate stage, so expect that to become CR within a year and a REC in ~2-3 years (it needs "two compliant implementations"; I expect Opera will be one of them; toss up for Konqueror, Safari, and FF for the other one). Under that time schedule, IE 11 should be fully CSS2.1-compliant. When will it end? When someone figures out a way to precisely specify a page so that it is readable and looks the same on: @ A PDA @ Your cell phone @ A monitor, from 640x480 resolution to whatever you can imagine @ Printer paper including A4, Letter, Legal, and plotter paper @ A 53-inch plasma-screen TV @ A projector I give it until the end of HTML.

Er, mis-calculated slightly. It might 1901 if they do it early enough (late January). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_Problem for why...
