MY QUESTIONS ARE ELEMENTARY
As always, my questions are simple. I've been viewing source on lots of pages again recently. Two key questions come to my mind:
-
How can I figure out what went on between the template with all of its macros to the final HTML I see when I view source? There are some great-looking weblogs that have elements I'd like to imitate, but it's tough to see how to get there working backwards toward a template from the final HTML.
-
When you view source on a page created with CSS, don't you get to a dead-end because you can't "view CSS?" Isn't that another files somewhere that you don't have access to?
CSS promise vs. reality. Mark Newhouse: Cascading Style Sheets, Promise vs. Reality, and a Look to the Future. [via Shirley Kaiser: CSS Promises vs. Reality: How Do They Compare?] A very realistic and balanced article.
The comfort and familiarity of table-based layouts make them hard to give up. As you examine some of the promises of CSS in light of both current reality and the longer-term future, I hope I can make a case for encouraging those of you who are sitting on the fence, to come down on the side of CSS and well-structured (X)HTML. I think you'll find the grass really is greener over here. [dive into mark]

SECONDARY BROWSERS
Mozilla vs. Opera?
With IE and Netscape as primary browsers in my thinking, I've had Mozilla and Opera as secondary. For someone viewing HTML work in various browsers prior to publishing, what does the market share/user count really look like between all of these software packages?
Mozilla finally turns 1.0. The browser software, four years in the making by an open-source project, is released to the Web. [CNET News.com] [lawrence's notebook]
