I dunno,
I’m a CSS newby. From all the reading I’ve done, I think that John Dvorak has a point. As a matter of fact, His post perfectly echoed my feelings after going through a tough round development, where I was trying to be browser agnostic. All that happenned is that now there’s another piece of code that is spaghetti, because the stupid browsers each support parts of the CSS spec differently.
CSS will continue to be annoying, and difficult until the browsers all decide to do it the same way.
All this said, I’m not an expert, I can barely get CSS to work, much less getting things to follow the box model.
I’m just saying, I’ve been building backend systems for some time now. And the real headaches are javascript, and CSS. and this after having to do things that are much harder like getting the database really RIGHT. That’s where my time should be spent, not in trying to get something that is lexically scoped and typed to work in an environment that isn’t…
