After years of development, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
has announced some of the exciting new features in Cascading Style
Sheets, CSS3.
"We've been focusing a lot on the accessibility of Style Sheets," Darren
Stennet, chief developer at W3C explained. "CSS has been around
for many years and is supported by nearly every single browser. So
why don't people use them yet? Judging from most pages out there,
we figured that CSS has simply been too complicated for the average
user."
To solve this, W3C introduces a new class: "Template." This
class allows web designers to define the entire layout of their site,
using only a single line of CSS.
"We expect templates to become a hit," Darren Stennet
exclaimed. "With only a single line of code (such as "template{aol;
nauseating}"), designers can make the same mind-numbingly ugly
sites, which it used to take them hours to make. Heck, they'll probably
get even uglier."
Darren Stennet promised that the dreaded Internet Explorer padding
bug has been addressed. "We've given up on convincing Microsoft
that padding goes on the outside. Some of us even suggested that
we should let them have their way, just to solve this. Instead, we
agreed on a solution that is bound to make everyone happy: CSS will
support a new type of padding: padding_outside_of_the_friggin_element.
Let's see them mess that one up.”
Browser developers welcomed the new features. Mozilla developers
announced, "It's already implemented in the latest Beta - we'll
have it out by next week. IE sucks."
The word from Opera is, "Bertil is milking the goats right
now. When he is done, he will do the code. Then we will have some nice
goat cheese. Mmmmmmm."
Microsoft expects to have it ready "somewhere around IE8.”
