Re: Dvorak embarrasses himself on CSS instead of Macs this time
said by justin  :my blackberry regularly spits out a ton of stylesheet as text instead of a nicely rendered page (for some sites). Yes it is probably bugs with the blackberry proxy server and style sheet interpretation, but it is very annoying, and has been like this for over a year. Yeah, this has nothing to do with CSS itself. If this gets on your nerves, complain about network stability and Blackberry technology, not CSS. In fact, sites using CSS for layout - under normal conditions - render excellently on Blackberry. Since they separate the content from the presentation. So, on Blackberries, you just get the text, no annoying layout or non-content images. (If it's done right.)
Same with the IE/Mozilla box models difference. This isn't a problem with CSS, it's a problem with browser makers. The spec is very clear on what the box model should be. Apparently, the browser makers weren't.

Well, it's not the mess that he claims but he does have valid points. How come IE and Mozilla work with padding/margins differently? Doesn't the standard specify how that should be dealt with? If not, why not!
But I disagree with it being a mess. I'm not an expert at this stuff but know CSS pretty well and there are very few tweaks I need to make to get a layout working in IE just like it does Mozilla...
So it definitely sounds like a rant from someone who doesn't know what they're doing (and needed another subject for his syndicated column) but he does have some good points...
Though I laughed at, "If your Internet connection happens to lose a bit of CSS data, you get a mess on your screen." He must have a pretty crappy connection!
