Late Night Web Design
Time always seems to fly when I’m doing something I like. Today seemed like a good enough day to come up with a new design for my website and start the seamlessly endless cycle: try something out, hate it, start over.
Now that I’ve started down a road, walking hand-in-hand with a design I like, I’m going to need spend nine thousand more hours days years trying to get it to work in older browsers (and all future versions of Internet Explorer).
My current pet-peeve is that both the Mozilla and Safari rendering engines support some proposed CSS3 features in with their own syntax. It’s bad enough that these features need to be prefixed with “-moz” or “-webkit” (depending on the browser), but Mozilla seems to be completely diverging from any standards when it comes to the “border-radius” property names. Mozilla decided somewhere along the line to name these properties without conforming to any of the naming standards that have been in CSS for YEARS.
I could keep ranting about the way Firefox has implemented border radius but at least they implement it. (I’m really hoping they fix their syntax deviation from the CSS3 working draft in Firefox 3.1).
I should probably cut this post short and go to bed, its 5am and tomorrow is going to be a long day of laundry mixed with me either doing more web-design or going to work.
Goodnight.
