CSS

Many designers are currently moving from print to web these days. Of those many, a big part decide to focus on design and pay someone to make the HTML+CSS coding part. While this sounds like a wise strategy that let designers focus on what they do best, if they don’t bother to learn the limits of the web, they’ll soon pay the price with interests. Without realising it, they boycott themselves too often, making things harder to code. That means more time, more problems and probably a higher price on the coding side.

 If you're into HTML and CSS, you know you'll be able to use whatever font you want for text as soon as CSS3 becomes a standard. No more Arial from hell. That is, when Internet Explorer 9 is released and all older versions dissapear from planet Earth, am I right? This gonna take a long, long time. Can't wait to get rid of Arial and start using other fonts?

OK, don't wait. You can use them NOW.

Now is when you say “c'mon, do you live in Neverland? IE versions below 9 don't understand CSS3”.

 When we abandoned tables for website design, we lost something. If there's something good in table cells, is that they all have same height. What about CSS? Two columns with same but variable height using just CSS, no Javascript and no tables. And it should work in all browsers. How the hell are we going to do that?
