@foolishowl @thomasfuchs HTML was perfect for what it was designed to do, and then someone decided to use it for something it wasn't designed to do, and now we get layer upon layer of cruft in so many attempts to "fix" HTML, all doomed to fail. HTML doesn't need fixing. 5 comments
@sabandijo @Alligator @foolishowl @thomasfuchs CSS is great because it applies styling to HTML. It respects HTML for what it is, and recognizes that different renderings of the information contained in the HTML have different needs. The HTML stays device independent, the CSS renders it in an appropriate format for the current device used.  @heinragas @sabandijo @Alligator @thomasfuchs I'd understood the introduction of CSS as something of a resurgence of the fundamental design principle of HTML. However that's the point at which I lose track of the history of Web design. The Web developers I know start talking about frameworks, and things get very confusing after that.  @foolishowl @heinragas @sabandijo @Alligator The problem with these developers is that most of them have no idea _why_ they're using a framework and about the advantages and disadvantages of using it; they just default into it. |

@heinragas @foolishowl @thomasfuchs I thought CSS was a nice addition.
