You are not alone. None of the rest of us can fathom CSS either.

link -> You are not alone. None of the rest of us can fathom CSS either.

Dave Minter is obviously frustrated, which lead him to write You are not alone. None of the rest of us can fathom CSS either.

He goes on a little rant that covers:

  1. Curvy corners
  2. Vertical floats
  3. Formatting for forms
  4. Floats within elements
  5. Graphical Buttons
  6. Column support
  7. Order Independence
  8. Widths on inline elements
  9. Addressing text within textareas
  10. A pony

Interestingly, do a view source on this bad boy to see nice corners that uses SVG, VML, -*-border-radius, depending on the browser. A lot of code for one feature huh?

On the other side we have 10 principles of the CSS masters by Glen Stansberry that covers:

  1. Keep CSS simple - Peter-Paul Koch
  2. Keep CSS declarations in one line - Jonathan Snook
  3. Use CSS shorthand - Roger Johansson
  4. Allow block elements to fill space naturally - Jonathan Snook
