CSS3

Since installing Ubuntu Linux at home, I’ve had the opportunity to work with the Konqueror browser – possibly the most standards-compliant browser available today (please do correct me if I’m wrong).

Konqueror leads the way in the implementation of the CSS3 Selectors module – in the testing I’ve performed so far, only the :checked pseudo-class doesn’t seem to work.

I’ve updated the compatibility table so you can see for yourself how advanced this remarkable browser is; it’s just a shame that less than 1% of internet users choose it as their main navigator.

Probably the first CSS3 Module to become a full recommendation will be Selectors; the W3C CSS3 Roadmap reports that the date for release is March 2006, so it’s overdue already.

Due to the fact that it’s passed all the previous testing stages, many CSS3 Selectors have already been implemented in modern web browsers; Mozilla, Opera, Safari and IE7 all recognise at least a few of them.

We’re putting together a table of levels of CSS3 Selectors support in browsers; it’s still early and the testing is by no means exhaustive, but it should act as a good guide for those who want to start to implement CSS3 in their web pages.
