Lot’s of W3C news today. The CSS WG has released three new working drafts, the most interesting to me is CSS3: Structure which deals the very basics of CSS. A must read for anyone interested in how CSS really works.
W3C today release the first working draft of CSS3 Generated and Replaced Content Module. It’s the bigger brother of ::before(content:x;). From the first read it looks pretty powerful but maybe a bit complex. Anyway, I would love to be able to use headers and footers in some future browser. Will XHTML+CSS some day make XSL-FO oblivious?
DENG, the XML/CSS rendering ening built in Flash, can now render some simple SVG samples. Pretty exciting what you can do with XML as soon as you got the basics (like CSS) working. I hope they continue of the renderer and see how far they can take it.
I used uploaded the last parts of the CSS support for SharpVectorGraphics. It’s based on a subclassed XmlDocument which adds support for looking up style rules from external stylesheets, style elements, user and useragent stylesheets. It supports the cascade rules of CSS 2.1, most of the selectors in CSS 3 and the majority of the CSS 2.1 DOM. There are lots of things to improve but it got all the basics. No package yet so you have to get it from the CVS. Hopefully there will be a package in a few days to play with. Feel free to email me any feedback, bug reports or feature requests :-)
The excellent CSS wiki is now open to the public. Join in and help out to build the best CSS resource on the web.
Tabs made with CSS. Another attempt to make backwards-compatible versions of stuff we did with JavaScript before. Looks good.
CSS Namespace Enhancements. For what’s I’ve been doing the last few hours, this would have been really great. Right now browsers work a bit random when it comes to handling and styling elements from different namespaces then XHTML.
