RGBa Browser Support

Opacity without forcing all child elements to the same opacity level! Very cool, and more supported cross-browser than opacity.

Javascript will save us all

Eric Meyer, CSS master, talks about how javascript can be used to make CSS3 work in all browsers, among other things. Talks about John Resig's jQuery and new Sizzle project, too - good stuff!

webdesign javascript jquery css css3 browsers

A while back, I woke up one morning thinking, John Resig’s got some great CSS3 support in jQuery but it’s all forced into JS statements. I should ask him if he could set things up like Dean Edwards‘ IE7 script so that the JS scans the author’s CSS, finds the advanced selectors, does any necessary backend juggling, and makes CSS3 selector support Transparently Just Work. And then he could put that back into jQuery.

And then, after breakfast, I fired up my feed reader and saw Simon Willison’s link to John Resig’s nascent Sizzle project.
There are two primary benefits here. The first is obvious: we can stop waiting around for browser makers to give us what we want, thanks to their efforts on JS engines, and start using the advanced CSS we’ve been hearing about for years. The second is that the process of finding out which parts of the spec work in the real world, and which fall down, will be greatly accelerated. If it turns out nobody uses (say) background-clip, even given its availability via a CSS/JS library, then that’s worth knowing.
2 more annotations...
- It is true that browsers without JavaScript will not get the advanced CSS effects, but older browsers don’t get our current CSS, and we use it anyway. (Still older browsers don’t understand any CSS at all.) It’s the same problem we’ve always faced, and everyone will face it differently.
- In the end, as I said in Chicago last week, the triumph of standards (specifically, the DOM standard) will permit us to push standards support forward now, and save some standards that are currently dying on the vine. All we have to do now is start pushing. Sizzle is a start. Who will take the next step, and the step after that?
