Where do you get a "Master CSS 2 Programmer" certification? Cheryl D. Wise Certified Professional Web Developer Microsoft FrontPage MVP http://wiserways.com http://starttoweb.com - Next Class Session Starts June 26, 2005 Office: 713-353-0139 -----Original Message----- From: Orion Adrian As a background, I'm a certified Master CSS2 programmer who has been espousing non-pixel perfect usable designs for a long time. CSS still stinks. And it while the support of browser vendors hurts, it's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the pains it takes to setup a multi-column layout. I'm talking about poor naming of elements. I'm talking about implicit interactions between properties that authors still have to learn. I'm talking about thge lack of user constants, a simple construct with no cascading technical issues. I'm talking about the absurdity that are the display models (box, inline, replaced, table, list) Some are good, most are bad (especially table). I'm talking about the lack of critical features for even non pixel-perfect layouts (text wrapping). I'm talking about the inability to specify clearly that one element is relative to another independant of the relationship in code. I'm talking about the claim that CSS works with many languages (as long as they're tree-based and called HTML or XML). I'm talking about the non-modularity (only recently addressed) of CSS and the total lack of extension mechanism including those things that would allow for other languages to be styled. I'm talking about all the little annoyances that come about any time I've ever tried to code up a CSS page.
