Why Microsoft will ruin HTML5 and CSS3 for us
February 27, 2010
HTML5 and CSS3 look very exciting, and is defiantly a game changer for us web designers. I felt like a spoiled child on Christmas morning when I read the spec for the first time; getting all the toys I wanted. Things like round corners and shadows are nice and make designing a lot faster. But I that’s all peanuts compared to HTML5 video, offline storage, and drag and drop functionality baked right into the browser. Sounds all really awesome, and it isn’t even half the stuff that’s included in the two new specs. But wait, where’s the support?
Mozilla, Opera, Apple, (and others) are all working with the new specs, tinkering with their browser engines to support the new additions, in a fact a handful of CSS3 functions are already in release browsers. But then there’s Microsoft.
