Ask Håkon About CSS or...?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday June 20, 2006 @05:31AM 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.

To be fair, "how come" is how he describes it on his website, and he even uses the email address howcome@opera.com. That wasn't an editorial or something by the editors.

Space inside the box is the "padding," while space around (outside) the box is the "margin." Between "padding" and "margin," there is also a "border." I'm not sure if asking how the terminology is determined is very interesting.
