I like all these added features coming to CSS3, however I wonder how many browser conflict they’ll create with so many ‘extras’. Sometimes it is good to keep it simple when the browser gods seem to hate each other so much.

Thanks, regarding inline vs block level content, I”d be happy if it worked the same way as it currently does with border etc just to stay consistent.

[...] My few thoughts on the “Graphical Effects” part of the feedback document. A lot of what was mentioned by the community is already in the pipeline, so there”s not a lot to say about those except “hurry “em up, willya?”. Read more.. [...]

I think jsutcliffe comment was one of the best ways in which a gradient tool could working within CSS3 that I have heard. Nice concept!

I really like jsutcliffe concept, I feel that would be a great way to include gradients with CSS

Personally, I think the biggest feature in graphical / background related attributes would be / is multiple background images. It means no more markup soup to get rounded corners!

I love the gradient and rounded corner option.

@Mike

SVG is handling a slightly different situation. An SVG image scales, but doesn’t change its vertical/horizontal proportions. Web pages do.

I’m assuming the call for gradients is to allow fluid layout, otherwise a pre-made gradient image would suffice, and the CSS support would not be needed. So there are probably issues like a minimum or maximum dimension at which the gradient should stop scaling.

And if anyone is really generating exactly the same image every time time it’s used – please rethink.

Was there any suggestion to allow splitting background-position into background-position-x and background-position-y ?
This would allow to redefine one without the other, reducing the number of rules needed to manage rollovers, etc, using sprite images.
I would have thought this would be in css3 but I can”t find it.

Surely we don’t need to think too hard about gradients: they work okay in SVG amongst other things, so it seems a little silly to even consider doing them differently, without having a really good reason.
For those browsers that can handle SVG already, this has the extra benefit of potentially giving them a quicker implementation path.

Firefox 3.1 will support CSS transforms as well (based on Webkit’s proposal).

Unidirectional background repeats

Oh please please yes =)

I don’t know how many times I’ve added structurally unnecessary wrapper divs to my contents just because I needed a vertical bagkground patten to start with a vertical offset from the bounding box of the container element.

Ironic how you could do some of these things waaaay back in IE5. Stuff like photo filters, rotation, zoom and even grayscale! However, now I see you can do CSS3 transforms in WebKit which is promising.

As of now you can scale, rotate, skew and translate boxes.
