Below is all of my content that has been tagged with the term css. Browsing it should be very exciting for you. Enjoy.

Lots of juicy potential in this one, but as Adam Singer notes, it’s highly reliant on cross-browser implementation.
The biggest issue one might have using the web on an iPad:
When I sat down to a redesign of the Gameplan admin interface I suddenly came to a realisation, :hover doesn’t work. It’s entirely possible I’d skim read this somewhere, but somehow the implications for my design work had passed me by until I saw an iPad in use.
For many, we often think about how many clicks a user goes through to complete a given interaction, and it somehow feels like the use of hover can alleviate part of that friction. If you care about the iPad or the similar copycat devices sure to appear before too long, that option is fading away quickly.
Of course, we can all take heart in the fact that well-done progressive disclosure is possible regardless of the number of clicks or taps involved. It’s about ensuring that every step in the interaction is clear and valuable more than it’s about fewer clicks.
It’s another one of those constraints that might make us all better designers.
Always torn about these compiled CSS things. When troubleshooting, it puts yet another layer between you and the styles, which can make it much harder to really leverage Firebug like a master.
This looks pretty sweet though, that objection notwithstanding.
While it’s interesting that Torrent communities are using this to ban users, I think there are potentially a lot of ways to use this kind of hack in positive ways too, to improve the user experience based on the types of sites and interactions you know they’ve used before.
Of course, the privacy concerns don’t go away.
Hot on the heels of last week’s Refresh DC talk on HTML 5 and CSS 3 where we previewed a few of these, here are some demonstrations of 3D Transformations using CSS3.
If you don’t have a WebKit nightly build, watch the video. There are some amazing demos here, and we’re not far from really being able to use these on the web.
The recent .webfont proposal and TypeKit service don’t seem to get us anywhere closer to terms that type foundries should embrace. So why are they embracing them?
Andy Clarke suggests a universal IE6 stylesheet for all sites:
That is why I’m now advocating to my clients (and to you), that where feasible, not to waste hours in time and a client’s money on lengthy workarounds in an unnecessary attempt at cross-browser perfection. Instead, you and I should provide simple but effectively designed HTML elements. This means just great typography for headings, paragraphs, quotations, lists, tables and forms and no styling of layout.
I think we’re still a ways off from this being acceptable for sites intended to be mainstream, but it’s probably a nice intermediary option down the road, and perhaps appropriate now for sites with very limited IE6 audiences.
