Hello Gabriele, > You can make these tests on font properties interactive/dynamic by > displaying the word 'passed' only when the style is actually computed by > using getComputedStyle() or alternatively, the css() method of the jQuery > library. Well, I wish tests would remain as simple and reduced as possible. Formal, clear too. For browser manufacturers, this is best too. I am using "Nth test passed" in http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/t1503-font-family-01.html One interesting unique aspect of the test http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/t1508-font-11.html is that, despite not supporting font system reserved names https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197544 , Konqueror 4.2.4 is able to pass t1508-font-11.html test. The font-size is properly, correctly parsed and rendered: no red viewable. > this suite actually needs more interactive tests. Can you elaborate more on what you may be seeing or meaning with interactive tests? I may agree with you. If such interactive tests are tutorial-like and can be useful for conveying how properties work, then IMHO they could be included in the CSS 2.1 test suite, otherwise they should be available from inside the CSS 2.1 spec itself. Interactive demo can help understand how CSS properties work or interact with each others.. What I have in mind here is some kind of test like this: http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/MSIE7Bugs/Float2p-with-clear-left.html (not perfect, not ideal... but just giving a general idea here) Every single code examples given in CSS 2.1 spec. should be available somewhere, testable in a webpage, for ordinary, human web authors... A spec can be a very dry thing to read; an interactive well-designed demo, webpage-test-example may be something that one can bookmark and remember for a long time... Same thing with a schematic picture explaining, showing respective concepts (eg: the CSS box model) and how they relate to each other. E.g.: http://www.gtalbot.org/BugzillaSection/DocumentAllDHTMLproperties.html Unless I'm wrong, there are only 3 typical properties naturally involving user interaction in CSS 2.1, which would require interactivity: :hover, :focus and :active best web-standards-regards, Gérard Talbot
