what is the different between HTML4 (currently using) with HTML5? Curious.

23

Found them at the w3c 's website under the dir css3wg

while exploring somethings, I noticed a lot of revolutionary things and even plans for css4! In fact, there was a draft for the background property in css4

I believe css3 has been in draft for about 7 years now. So this leads me to ask, when was css2 officially read to use?
Also how many years since the w3c began drafting it?

CSS 2 Recommendation - 1998
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/

CSS 2 Working Draft - 1997
http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-CSS2-971104/cover.html

That ‘previous’ section can be real handy on that.

Of course I’d point out that the latest recommendation is in fact 2.0, since even CSS 2.1 has gone from draft to candidate and back to draft.

Hey look, it’s back to “working draft” instead of the “candidate recommendation” of the last version:

Gotta love design by committee, bad enough to make one wish we had a benevolent dictator saying “Look, this is how it works, GET IT DONE!”

thank you for the links :slight_smile:

agreed. Then we would not have stupid browsers and there would be no need for js hacks :slight_smile:

so is it safe to assume that css3 will be ready to use fully, I mean including even some of the more recent features they just ffinished drafting in December, by 2012/2013? Or even later this year or later than 2013? :frowning:
