CSS is 10 Years Old
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) has just had its 10 year anniversary, and celebrated the occasion by creating a site to mark its involvement in the web development world. CSS itself hasn’t been relatively popular until more recent years. w3.org even upgraded the CSS validator
The immersion of the language in web development has greatly improved the way we make websites and allows us to be freer by separating content, layout and styling markup but was greatly resisted due to browser compliance problems.
SilverStripe has been creating standards complaint websites using semantic XHTML markup and CSS for going on 3 years now, you’ll notice that the entire SilverStripe site has been created using semantic XHTML 1.1 and CSS too! For the more technical people, SilverStripe even includes the appropriate XML header (depending on browser support) for accurate rendering of XHTML 1.1 pages.

And with the new version of IE7 Microsoft has fixed a lot of CSS bugs that plagued earlier versions of IE, another reason to not avoid using semantic XHTML and valid CSS.
There are still problems with it, and problems with it viewing old IE CSS hacks, but it's a step ahead for the future.Posted by Sean, 3 years ago
