Stronger, Better, Faster Design with CSS3

Using CSS techniques to create practical elements and layouts

In this second article we’re going to focus on using those CSS techniques (and a little JavaScript) to create some practical elements and layouts. As before, caveat coder — a lot of the CSS properties we’re going to use have limited support, if any, in IE6/7 and probably 8. Firefox 3.5+ and Safari 4 are your best bet right now to see all the cool stuff going on in CSS right now (Chrome does a pretty good job, too).

Why bother with CSS that has such limited support? It won’t always have limited support, and these articles are all about preparing for the future of web design (and just doing some really cool stuff). Apparently, if you are one of those people who is waiting until using progressive CSS is safe because all major browsers support the same CSS at the same time, you are living in a fantasy world, so it’s just the right time to get things rolling with CSS3.

Ready? Let’s roll.
