yeah, just like last time when they released duke nukem forver for atari, http://www.3drealms.com/duke4/dnf2600.html.
they never should have picked that date, as you said everyone seemed to miss it;)
agreed, the problem isn't that it doesn't support all of the css2, it is that it doens't support the elementary stuff,
like the diffrent selectors.
how often have had to adjust the markup,
adding a bunch of extra classes, when i simply could have used a selector, like Child
selectors and Adjacent
sibling selectors.
just to show off what one can do with selectors, here is a example i made once
chessboard styled table
This works perfectly in mozilla, opera, and konq.
There is also some examples with:target a css3 selector if you go to the index of that page, but that is only supported by mozilla.
msie crashes because of the p:first-letter and the
em in the first paragraph, (p)(em)text
it probably doesn't know how to handle this,
maybe tries to applie the style to the em-tag or something, anyway it takes the easy way out and crashes;)
One a side note, had that document been a proper xhtml1.1 document, which should have been sent as application/xhtml+xml not as text/html as it is.
msie wouldn't have displayed it at all, giving you a download dialog when trying to load it. xhtml media types
I usually recommend strict,yes. But if one have an an exception like this of course you can use Transitional.
Usually there shouldn't be any need for a Transitional doctype. (probably cause i'm a bit fed up by messy code;) )
And instead of value, I think one wants you to use Counters in css. Of course currently one browser is supporting counters in css.
I'm also aware of the problems with xhtml, the reason i only said strict, not 4.01 strict or xhtml 1.0 strict. I believe it should be up to yourself to deside which is the best suited for you. But of course there is always a bunch of people jumping the bandwagon.
As it is now xhtml1.0 may be sent as text/html http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/
Though i have seen very often pages that is supposedly in xhtml1.1, but sent as text/html.
When confronted most of the people that made these pages have no clue what the document should be delivered as. they just think its cool to use the latest doctype. Espesially fun when you know these people use MSIE;) (MSIE which open a download dialog, when it tries to open a document sent as application/xhtml+xml)
One could use this apache mod_rewrite described at
greytower.net but it really doesn't solve the problem, but it allows the document to be opened in MSIE.
Code after the standards not browsers,
try to make the code as semantic as
and always use a proper doctype,
i usually recommend a sctrict-dtd.
but when choosing a doctype, you choose you should choose one that triggers the standard compliance rendering mode in the diffrent browsers.
see here for a list http://www.hut.fi/~hsivonen/doctype.html

well, yes and no,
its nothing wrong to use a fixed width layout,
but it would have been a better solution to use em rather than px to set the width,
or even %,
if i increase the text-size on news.com.com it doesn't look any good, it would have been better to use a length unit that allows the page to scale with the font-size

they are mixed in with the old. so you have to go throught it all.

just a little correction on my post, :target is not a selector it is a pseudo-class
