- Why do you love CSS?
- I do love my wife. But I really like CSS, because it is a simple looking and relatively straight way to design a website. I think I fell in love with the concept of CSS because I am a lazy guy when it comes to maintaining or changing a website. With CSS you change the colors or font-families within seconds. With old-style layout-tables it could be hours. I had the feeling I could waste my time with more fun.
- What drives you crazy when using CSS?
- Especially IE of course. But in general it drives me crazy that there is a huge gap between theory and reality. It is a crying shame that each and every browser has a unique sight on CSS. It is not only between browsers but between versions, too. Is it really that complicated to programm a browser just the way it should be? The specs for XHTML, HTML and CSS are not really new to the programmers. But they don’t get it.
- Why should people write well structured / semantic markup?
- There are many reasons why one should write structured and semantic markup. First of all that is the way it was meant. HTML-documents was developed to structure the information within a document. Unfortunately most people do only think visually. But the main focus should be on the information. And if you read a correctly structures and CSS-styled document in a mobile device which is not capable of CSS there will still be the well-structured content. And if you structured the text semantically correct, everyone will be able to recognize lists, headings and paragraphs. Structuring a document well doesn’t do you any harm but helps you in every way.
