Mea culpa Remi. :) I did not mean to imply that you have to use the
same method or code as the source of inspiration that I pointed to. :)
Instead, I look at this from the user point of view, and I was
hoping that there was a way where one could use something like...
<div class="box_warning">Formatting will destroy all the data on
your partition.</div>
or
<div class="box_notice">Welcome to Haiku!</div>
...that would render the text inside a rounded corner box with a
background color and icon (to the left of the text?) specific to the
note type (warning/notice/etc.).
No, it's just not possible to do it that easily in CSS before CSS 3.0
You end up with fairly clunky div's defining a box to put a background
image in with four rounded corners. It's okay for one a page but I
suspect that several on a page would be noticeable. Do it in CSS 3.0
and browsers that support it will look great and the others will look
okay - no rounded corners.
To be honest I don't think that it makes a great deal of difference
whether the specification is finished, approved or simply plain
esoteric. The W3C has proved to be an industry-friendly talking shop
with much of the innovation and implementation coming from outside and
only eventually getting the big W3C thumbs up to become "approved
standard". I'm normally very conservative on these things but seeing
as Microsoft has finaly realised it has to play catch up again, I'm
confident that soon well over 30% of all users will be benefitting
from CSS 3 stuff and more importantly the rest won't be suffering.
