What are the major differences between css and css2?

Question

Forget the extensive guidelines from the w3; what are the high points of what css2 will let us do on the web?

Answer 1

Hi.

I don't know the level of CSS2 support at this time. But a couple of years ago, CSS2 was not widely support. Here's a CSS2 reference, well it includes CSS1, that will tell you which browsers support it.

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_reference.asp

For more information on the differences between CSS2 and CSS1, see:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/


"CSS2 builds on CSS1 (see [CSS1]) and, with very few exceptions, all valid CSS1 style sheets are valid CSS2 style sheets. CSS2 supports media-specific style sheets so that authors may tailor the presentation of their documents to visual browsers, aural devices, printers, braille devices, handheld devices, etc. This specification also supports content positioning, downloadable fonts, table layout, features for internationalization, automatic counters and numbering, and some properties related to user interface"

I hope this helps.

Hello.

Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 offers many new properties and methods to control the look and feel of your documents in various different settings - not just Web pages. No browser fully supports CSS2.

Bye.

Answer 3

For many web designers, the biggest impact is probably the positioning capabilities. Using CSS2, it is possible to create complex layouts without using tables.
