CSS v HTML

It works, so we don't need no stinking improvements.

HELLO

Here's the HTML I 've used for 10 years

<center><i>HELLO</center></i>

Here's the crap I have to use, or at least be conversant with, when I'm forced to use CSS code.

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">HELLO</span></div>

HELLO

If this is progress, then you can blow me.

In order to address this problem, the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) sanctioned the use of HTML. While it functionally solved the problem, HTML tags were written in stone; a more flexible solution was not possible because the technology on the telecommunications side could not support it. Now, propelled by the capitalist profit motive, and with the introduction of more powerful computers and faster networks, a total rewrite of the once monolithic paradigm of HTML is necessarily here. Certainly, the days of letting your nine year old do your corporate web page are long past.
Get ready to deal with XHTML, CSS, DOM, XML etc in the creation of RIA (Rich Internet Applications), using IDEs such as LASLO, FLEX2 and Microsoft’s WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). New coding languages such as ActionScript3, Ajax, C# and others are here, with more on the horizon.
The days of just having fun making web sites with a copy of “HTML for Dummies” at your side are gone along with the crystal set and the 5 dollar pair of tennis shoes.; 1/15/07, 10:21 PM

I edit webpages with either notepad.exe, or vi.

The style sheet fags can just fuck off.

My page's code can fit on a single floppy, and runs fast. Their style and object oriented crap take forever to load.

They talk about how advanced their tools are at setting up webpages ... but they don't like to talk about how bloody slow the stuff they produce is.

Just like C++ programmers suddenly wanting to be elsewhere when ansi-C dinosaurs and assembly language programmers start talking about performance.

Remember, Rodger, just because these lazy idiots use this crap, does not mean that you have to.; 1/16/07, 12:53 PM

At one point - and lord I wish I could go back to it - it wasn't good enough to go from here to there. I had to do it in a Corvette. Now, all I want is my Dodge Caravan to make it without crapping out. That's an analogy.; 1/16/07, 1:37 PM
