Q: Why do I need this site?
A: ‘Cause you don’t want to read CSS books of 500+ pages…
I’d suggest that you’d learn a lot more reading a book than you would just copying someone else’s templates. Plus, I don’t think there are many CSS books of 500+ pages.
It sounds like Microsoft are taking web standards seriously. This is really good news for everyone; it’s so important to have the market leader actually lead. IE7 was a fudge that ran to catch up with everyone else, but I’m hopeful that IE8 (or even IE7.5?) will begin to innovate as well.
For no particular reason other than idle curiosity, I made a demo of a broken neon sign, using CSS Animations (you’ll need Firefox 5, Safari or Chrome to see it). It doesn’t degrade well at the moment, the root cause of which is down to what I think is a bug in Firefox’s implementation — I’ll need to confirm that.
One quick learning from making this: it would be really useful to have CSS Mixins when using a lot of repetitive keyframes, as I do in this animation. The W3C seem to be quite against them, however.
