I have developed an interest in Web Standards, and am working feverishly to understand the more complicated aspects of CSS. I want to be able to say: “Look ma! No tables!” at some point in the very near future.
It all began when I started to find out about the Fahrner Image Replacement (FIR) tecnique. This article explains the complexities and reasons for it, Using Background-Image to Replace Text (link to Stopdesign page no longer exists).
However it wasn’t until I saw the absolute beauty of the CSS Zen Garden that I knew I was hooked.
By separating Design and Content, you can (or at least will be able to one day) solve all of the current problems of accessibility and usability.
