The web is looking brighter ahead.  With the departure of ie6 (eventually), the introduction of advanced css techniques with css3, and full support for transparent pngs, web design will be even more exciting than it has ever been. With a lot of limitations gone, perhaps it will become a ever-more-popular field of study for the next generation of designers.

Welcoming IE8

Enough headaches. IE6 will thankfully be something we will no long have to worry about. With IE6 finally gone we can finally do some cool things with png’s, not to mention make development time for css much more smoother.

Browsers are starting to support CSS3.

Multiple background images for one element

1. .box {
2. background-image: url("top-left.gif"), url("top-right.gif"), url("bottom-left.gif"), url"(bottom-right.gif");
3. background-repeat: no-repeat, no-repeat, no-repeat, no-repeat;
4. background-position: top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right;
5. }

Media Querie

This Media Query expresses that the style sheet is usable on devices with viewport (the part of the screen/paper where the document is rendered) widths between 400 and 700 pixels:”

1. @media screen and (min-width: 400px) and (max-width: 700px) {
2. property:value;
3. }

This Media Query expresses that style sheet is usable on screen and handheld devices if the width of the viewport is greater than 20em.

1. @media handheld and (min-width: 20em) {
2. property:value;
3. }

Sibling Selectors

Sibling Selectors will make it easy to style elements without having to add so much markup. Extra divs would not no longer necessary.

Child Selector (CSS2)

Matches all li’s that are immediate children of the ul.

1. ul>li {
property:value;
}

Adjacent Sibling Selector(CSS2)

This example targets the p when h2 is an adjacent sibling.

1. h2+p {
property:value;
}

General Sibling Selector (CSS3)

This example will match a p element if it’s a sibling of an h2 element

1. h2~p {
⋮ property:value;
}

Pseudo Elements

Some of these are really cool, it’s more posssible to target almost any element without using classes or wrappers.

1. :first-letter
   represents the first character of the first line of text within an element
2. 
:first-line
   represents the first formatted line of text
3. 
:before
   specifies content to be inserted before another element
4. 
:after
   specifies content to be inserted after another element
5. 
::selection
   represents a part of the document that’s been highlighted by the user

   matches elements on the basis of their positions within a parent element’s list of child elements
2. 
:nth-last-child(N)
   matches elements on the basis of their positions within a parent element’s list of child elements

:nth-of-type(N)
   matches elements on the basis of their positions within a parent element’s list of child elements of the same type
4. 
:nth-last-of-type(N)
   matches elements on the basis of their positions within a parent element’s list of child elements of the same type
5. 
:last-child
   matches an element that’s the last child element of its parent element
6. 
:first-of-type
   matches the first child element of the specified element type

12.

What will be expected of CSS Coders?

With alpha transparent pngs in full support and ie6 gone, slicing the old way will almost be a thing of the past. Why slice an image with a background color behind it? It won’t seem practical anymore becuase that image can be placed behind any background now. CSS is evolving and becoming more complex with what it can achieve. Its more than simple ways to describe what color you want. At this rate it looks like a lot more will be required of the new css coder.
