I tried to emulate this property on inline-svg for Mozilla and Opera: http://www.myadzel.ru/tests/html/text-background/ Sort happened.

It would be nice to see background-clip clipping a certain area of the image background-clip: rect(5px 15px 15px 5px) like we see in the https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/-moz-image-region.
This definitely would improve css sprites.

Common sense should have made everyone realize years ago that most of the features of Photoshop’s Layer Styles make total sense in the web browser or any other visual medium (especially since the other major visual mediums (tv & print) are overflowing with billions of examples of graphic design making use of layer-style-like visual effects.)

@Stifu I didn’t make that code up, just stole it from css3.info since this site uses a lot of css3.

I’ve been messing with some of the new css3 things in Safari and I can’t wait until browsers that people actually use more than 3% of the time implement these as well. Won’t have to open up Fireworks as often as I do now.

I think it’s fine for browser makers to introduce prefixed features, as long as they submit documentation to the W3C which will allow the new feature to be reviewed and revised.

Safari is now the browser with the most support for CSS3. With the full support now for of Structural Selectors it has now leap frogged Opera. Point Safari 3.1 at this page.

http://css-class.com/test/css/css.htm

Safari isn’t at the top of the honor roll for no reason and the page does degrade dramatically as you progress down the list of browsers. Yes my CSS is full of prefixes but this page and the CSS3 examples do show the wonders of CSS3.

Take note of my faux column on the right. There is no background-repeat there but rather I using background background-size with one tiny image (148px by 78px).

Neal G: but then we couldn’t already use rounded borders and other nice upcoming features (like opacity in the past). Also, that gives these features some exposure, which helps to further develop them and to get feedback and bug reports on them.

You have the option to use them, but if you don’t want to, you don’t have to. On a side note, in your example above, you’re overdoing it… I only bother with the -moz and -webkit prefixes myself, and will end up removing them once a stable release of Firefox implements the prefix-less equivalents.

Perhaps “not quite ready” should wait until it is ready.

I find that Safari seems to use the -khtml- prefix anyway. Like you don’t need the -webkit- one but just the -khtml- one. Has anyone notice this?
