Well, I am down with that..I never did care for the jumpy, spinny,
whizzy things... As a print designer, I'm all about good design, good
typography, quality imagery and clear communication.
however, you sometimes get the idea that if you don't pay obeisance
to that fashion (jumpy, spinny, whizzy), you'll be ignored and
marginalized in favor of those whose sites are a multi-sensory
fantasmatron of motion, speed and sounds.
However, books have been captivating people for centuries and they
just sit there until you pick them up and use them.
I would be happy to have none of that silly stuff on my page, but
then I get told my site "looks a bit dated."

Cat,
That's the holy trinity of web design: content, presentation and

I thank you for that link, David.
The picture I am developing now is this: HTML and CSS should be
used strictly for content, structure and formatting.
*Behaviors* are best left to things like Javascript.
Are these two statements ones that most here can buy into? Are
they fair statements, accurate reflections of practice and real-
world usage?
IOW, there are things we *can* do, and out of that, there are
things we ought do, or ought not do, based on the demonstrable.

could there be soon a "touch" command so that you could write
the code like:
"hover, do this. If no hover, then touch, do this. If no touch,
then ______ and do this"
We shouldn't need it.
We have :hover which can be thought of "When the user is
potentially about to activate something" and we have :active
which is "When the user is activating something".
That should be enough until you start trying to use :hover for
doing things beyond indicating the possibility of activation, and
one you start doing that … http://www.cennydd.co.uk/2010/end-
