Xyle Scope: still a good tool for CSS
Two years ago I reviewed Xyle Scope. This nifty tool lets you view a page using Safari's rendering engine, and then lets you roll over page elements and see the CSS styles that are being applied, and in what order, to those elements. Pretty neat, eh? Here's the other nice thing you can do with it: you can fine-tune your own code by loading up one of your pages, and then change the CSS variables in Xyle Code's inspector window, and see the rendered results immediately. It integrates nicely with BBEdit, and is still a good deal at $19.95.

It's funny because it's true
This, from The Net is Dead, via Heather G-M:
The sad thing is this is (mostly) true. You can, actually, do anything a table can do in CSS, but there is a lot of tweaking to make things look lovely in all the browsers your client might require. The bit about Internet Explorer is completely true, and probably under-reports the amount of time we spend making any site work as expected in IE. The folks in Redmond follow their own laws. It's like they are vigilantes in an old-west movie, strutting into town while the marshall is out catching cattle rustlers, occupying his office and saying, "law? Law? Ma'am, we are the law, now."Labels: css, humor, IE, visual information, W3C, web design
