Why are many Amiga users anti-CSS?

[jorkany]

Thought it might be good for a little change of subject.

One thing I've noted on Amiga forums is that many in the Amiga communities seem very against CSS. I find this puzzling, as managing a single CSS file is much more efficient than managing dozens or hundreds of HTML files.

So why the CSS hate?

It's simple, the browsers for classic Amigas don't support it (excluding some ports of OWB and Netsurf that aren't stable & optimised enough for day-to-day use).

That was easy. Next question.

Its not that they are against it,the problem is none of the common 68K browsers like ibrowse or aweb etc support CSS and the layout looks horrible when viewed with them.

Because of the lack of support for CSS in Amiga web browsers (68k ones at least).

Yeah, it's an issue of support. Too bad, because it really is a great tool.

Next question then!
Should I petition the state to stop paving roads since they hurt my horse's feet?

I still don't know if I'm for it or against it, cos I still don't know what it is...

I think it stands for cascading style sheets.
Basically a more modern means of display.

Based on the many threads I've read about IBrowse, when CSS is mentioned, I have to agree with the thread. This is not about being anti-CSS.

html is for content and css is for layout

That all depends on where you live..
If you are in a smaller community with enough horse based traffic to warrant it, then of course you should...

Think about it like this. When you design a website, you most likely want the pages to have a similar look. For example, on amiga.org you've got a mostly blue and white theme, certain fonts, etc.... If you design a page with just HTML, you have to write that you want those style settings on every page. With CSS, you can instead save these style settings in one file, and say 'use this style' by linking to this one file.

Think of it like a style template. Time is saved by only needing to write out the style settings once. I hope that makes sense.

PHP is also worth understanding too, if you want a fuller picture of how websites are put together, but one thing at a time. :-)

Gotta be honest, I don't like things all having the same look (that's why my site is erm... a wee bit different as some folk have said) plus all I have to do is point and click and type some text, pics $ music to create mine...

I couldn't be bothered learning HTML and all that malarky to I picked a point and click thingy that cuts out all that stuff, lazy, yup, but a lot less hassle than learning HTML...
