Ask Håkon About CSS or...?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the partly-to-blame-for-web-2.0 dept.

Back in 1994, while working for the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Håkon Wium Lie (pronounced more or less "how come") proposed the idea of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Got a CSS question? An Ajax question? Want to know why Håkon loves Free Software so much? Or something else, related or not? Go ahead and ask -- after checking some of the links above, so you don't duplicate questions he's answered in other interviews or in articles he's written. (One question per post, please.) We hope to post his answers Friday.

    CSS Evolution

    CSS is about intelligent design, not evolution!

    Free software is destroying american jobs. Why do you hate america?

    Because America is known to harbor bears, godless killing machines without a soul that are a threat to free men everywhere. If you harbor bears you are bears.

    Put a stop to America's bearrorism today.

      Stupidity is like nuclear power, it can be used for good or evil. And you don't want to get any on you.

    Shouldn't that be: "What possessed you to develop the idea of Cascading Style Sheets?"
