Fearful forabeautifulwebcoms598
Great article thanks but I think Irsquoll wait until most of the browsers support CSS3 totally to develop websites for my clients

I hope CSS3 will be a standard in the near future right now you cant really use anything of it rsquocause not every browser supports it
Comments from Smashing Magazine readers on jmpsmashingcss3
ldquo rdquo
CSS 3 rocks Unfortunately we need to stay at least 5 more years with CSS 21 if we want to offer the same design to each user (which in most lsquocommercialrsquo projects is necessary)
Comments from Smashing Magazine readers on jmpsmashingcss3
ldquo rdquo
I canrsquot wait to use CSS3 in a real project Unfortunately Irsquom going to be stuck with things as they are for the time being as I wait for my clients to catch up I expect this will be the case for most designers for the time being
Comments from Smashing Magazine readers on jmpsmashingcss3
ldquo rdquo
CSS3 looks really good however because of IE it will be long time before I start using it

These arguments are complete and utter bullshit
If 98 of the users canrsquot see a text-shadow it doesnrsquot matter but itrsquoll be a nice enrichment for the 2 of users who can
