Ambitious CSS guidelines
Ambitious CSS guidelines: Roger Johansson offers tips for using CSS when you wish to go beyond the basics, into those areas in which the various realworld implementations your audience may choose do no tyet fully coincide. He recommends to remove all defaults for all elements, to do most of your viewing in Firefox or Opera and then to test in the popular IE/Win, to shun "CSS hacks", and to have your markup approved by the spec-validators. This seems like good advice for the future, too, even though the various browsers will eventually converge in implementation details for the CSS specs... rendering engines are always pushing the edge, and with multi-engine format like CSS, HTML and JS some engines will always advance faster than others... staying in the mainstream where implementations have already converged is safest, but if you've got to get ambitious, then Roger's guidelines can help.
