Dynamic HTML Lab: Fun with Mozilla Border Radii The CSS3 Border Module Peter Belesis
CSS3
Even though browser support for the 1998 CSS2 Specification is still incomplete (especially in IE), and the more recent
CSS2.1 Specification has not yet been ratified, the W3C has been steadily moving ahead with drafts for a proposed CSS3 Specification.
It's still early, but to facilitate discussion and implementation, the new CSS specification has been modularized. One such module is the CSS3 Border Module, which is still a "Working Draft."
The CSS3 Border Module
The Border Module incorporates CSS1 and CSS2 border properties, some of which
have additional value options, and introduces many new ones.
The table below lists the proposed properties. They may or may not appear in
a final CSS3 specification. If they do, they may have different behaviors from
the currently proposed one. They are listed for information purposes only.
All CSS specifications allow for browser-specific extensions to the defined
standards.
Browser-specific properties should be easily identifiable, both by browser-engines
and by authors attempting to implement them. They should begin with a dash (
- ) or underscore ( _
), followed by a vendor identifier, followed by a dash ( -
) and the property name.
