Drupal 5.0 will be the first Drupal that includes some CSS3. Several<br>people have brought up concerns or 'bug reports' about this.</blockquote><div> </div>I am no CSS guru, nor do I play one on TV.<br><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
With that in mind, I'd like to set an official policy on CSS3 in<br>Drupal, namely that we allow it. By definition, it should not cause<br>any problems in older browsers</blockquote><div><br>If it would not cause any problems, then I am all for it. However,
<br>the devil is in the details. See below.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">The only big problem for now is that some of the CSS3 throws a
<br>warning in Firefox's debug log (e.g. "display: inline-block" in<br>core). While annoying, this is IMO Firefox' fault, not ours.</blockquote><div><br>In general, such a warning is harmless, and I can live with it. Others
<br>may be more picky though.<br><br>What I don't like is the reasoning ("their fault nor ours") when it comes to <br>the web and internet. <br><br>The internet is composed of many parts, and our part (drupal)
<br>has to be displayed within the parts of others (Firefox, IE, ...etc.)<br> </div><br>We can't just say that this is not our problem and leave the user<br>out in the cold.<br><br>We have done so in the past, but corrected our mistakes (
e.g. <br>the <base href="..."> thing, various MS IE ugliness, ...etc.)<br><br>We cannot fix the faults of other software, but we will have to <br>live with them for the time being.<br><br>The least we could do here is a) document this, and b) file a bug
<br>with Firefox and see what they say.<br><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Especially because Firefox is happy to accept the other CSS3 in
<br>Garland (e.g. "opacity: 0.5"). It is also only visible if you have<br>some sort of development tools active.</blockquote><div><br>What sort of development tool triggers that? devel module? <br></div><br></div>
