not in any browser, blame the browser makers, not the standards
organizations.
I'm a tyrant on this subject (ask my co-workers), but being able to write
HTML and CSS that complies with some sort of standard, makes my life easier.
I'm not having to write a hack for every browser out there and having to
re-write when a new browser comes on the market.
If we all promote and use web standards, and use browsers which follow the
standards, then there will be incentives for the browser makers to implemnet
the standards in their web sites. If we don't and use what's out there,
then where is the incentive?

Subject: css, xhtml, standards, bandersnatch, etc...
So with the semi-OT talk of standards over on cf-talk, it coincides with
something I've been thinking and some frustrations I've been having.
Standards don't exist.
They are a frumious Bandersnatch. We can write the words and they can even
have some kind of meaning to people, but they either don't seem to have the
same meaning to everyone or they simply only exist as words and will never
be seen in reality.
Dave's quote was excellent and worth repeating I think:
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man." - George Bernard Shaw
A current CSS frustration:
display: table-column-group
I really need that for a project I'm working on. I need the ability to
control the display of a column in a table. Yes I can kludge around it, but
it's not pretty. So what browsers support this CSS2 declaration that was
ratified over 5 years ago? None. It's a standard that doesn't exist. It's my
frumious Bandersnatch.
-Kevin
