A comment on CSS3 - A Practical Introduction.

I don't think you can really claim "full browser support" with an asterisk that says "assumes latest beta". That's really not helpful when you're trying to figure out if you can actually use something. That said, this is a pretty nice preview of what's coming with CSS3.

(If you are looking for that kind of information, http://www.quirksmode.org/compatibility.html is by far the best resource I've found anywhere online for it, although I don't think it includes all of CSS3.)

Let me reword that slightly into something I'd endorse: it is less helpful for me to know the compatibility with the latest version of each browser than it is for me to know compatibility with the most commonly used version of each browser.

It does not actually say "full browser support" does it? All I see is "browser support" with an asterisk to indicate her determination is based on most recent builds.

I don't think this is in any way meant as an authoritative reference for browser compatibility.

I think its purpose is that suggested by the title: a practical introduction. A subscript might have been: How to use CSS3 instead of various klduges to achieve interface effects.

In my opinion, anyone using the newer markup and style tools should be testing cross-browser anyway.

Anyway, I think its a great presentation.

It says "full support" in the browser icons. I assumed, and I guess samdk did also, that this implied she was talking about the browsers.

By "Full support" I meant that it fully supports the feature (without a prefix or huge deviations from the spec). It doesn't have anything to do with browser versions.
