CSS RULEZ!!
Posted by Vineet on May 11, 2009
For those who are regular visitors to web development forums such webmasterworld, it doesnt take much time to realize that there are some people who know CSS and then there is a bunch of developers who are CSS freaks.
Initially CSS seemed pretty easy to me.. ‘a tool to remotely control the happenings in HTML files’… but soon I realized that there was more to it.. actually much more….
This is how my CSS progress has been so far…
- Jan 2009 – No CSS, Just HTML! Result – utterly lame web pages.
- Feb 2009 – Started using CSS for styling paragraphs, headings and tables. This was the time when I used tables heavily until…
- April 2009 – When I figured out CSS can do much more. Used it for positioning … but only absolute positioning that led to cross browser compatibility issues needless to mention our GREAT BROWSER, IE6 which blew up things like anything!
- May 2009 – This came as a a revelation. Started using float lefts and float rights and understood how to style web pages without breaking the flow
- May 2009 – woohoo! Learnt how to create a Navigation menu using CSS…
Still facing a lot of Cross browser problems. But with every CSS blunder I make and every time I fumble and google, I cannot help uttering these words aloud .. CSS RULES!!! because it feels like secrets are getting unfolded one after another..
The CSS journey seems to be pretty long …. or am I on the path of the freaks…
