What’s On Your CSS Wishlist?
If you could determine the future of Cascading Style Sheets, what would that future look like?
The web design site CSS-tricks.com recently held a survey in which they asked 15 top designers what they’d like to see in the roadmap for the CSS spec. Jon Hicks, Wolfgang Bartelme, Mint’s Shaun Inman and Stuff and Nonsense’s Andy Clarke were among the participants.
Rounded corners comes up often. Other great ideas include cross-browser support for gradients and shadows, layer blending and styles a la Photoshop, more consistent syntax for writing declarations in shorthand and native support for conditionals.
Granted, some of what we’d like to see in CSS is already in the pipeline for CSS-3. But many of the desired features are more of a pipe dream. Like support for using non-standard fonts beyond sIFR and images, for one — David Walsh thought of that one.
We thought it would be fun to let the Webmonkey readership take a stab at generating its own CSS wishlist. So we’ve taken a few of the suggestions mentioned above and plugged them into a Reddit widget (attributing the original source, of course). Vote up your favorites. Vote down the entries that you find stupefyingly misguided. Scroll down to contribute your own item to the list.
