Taking Advantage of CSS 3

January 8th, 2009

SmashingMagazine.com has published an excellent article outlining some new CSS 3 features for use in web design. Not every browser supports CSS 3 yet. However, now is a great time to start getting familiar with the new features. By the time all the browsers have caught up, you will be an expert and won’t have to worry about learning a bunch of new code. The techniques covered in the article are:

1. Border Radius: adding rounded corners with CSS
2. Border Image: using an image within a border
3. Box and Text Shadow: adding a shadow to boxes and text
4. Transparency: Controlling transparency with CSS
5. Custom Fonts: Using fonts outside of the regular web system font options
6. The pros and cons of using these new features in your current web design projects
