This is not how HTML and CSS should be used!



// Some fun coding by Peter Westendorp: "Tunnel vision 3D" with CSS. As Peter writes: "This is an experiment to demonstrate the power of CSS and modern browsers. This is not how HTML and CSS should be used." :D

    Sweet. As an advocate for the power of the HTML and CSS, I will be showing this to fellow skeptics. May be not how it was intended to be used but definitely great way to lift that seal of imagination most people deploy when they think of the aforementioned technologies as rudimentary.

    You could easily modify this to make a CSS volcano. That would make for a nice science project.

    I feel this is more of a demonstration of what webkit can do, than what HTML/CSS can do.

    Super cool... and showcases the incredible power of CSS3 and HTML5. Can't wait for every browser to fully support the specification.

    The problem here is IE if that doesn't support HTML5 and Webkit proper then you are only every going to be able to code a half-functioning website. To be honest it kind of reminds be of the spinning burning logos of the early internet :P

    +Nick Davis IE9/10 seems to be doing well in terms of HTML5 support!

    I understand but we have to code for the browser they will have now which is a bad mix of 7 and 8, with a smattering of 6. It sucks, but that is the reality of web builds at the moment. I am just glad we can completely ignore 5 now.

    +Markos Giannopoulos Eventhough IE9/10 is getting closer and closer to compliance, it still does not excuse the poor job by MS with previous releases (IE 5-8). As a coder, IE is the ball at the end of my chain...

    It is sad reality that we still have to support 2-3 releases of IE..

    Why would anyone say this is not a valid use of HTML and CSS?

    +Nicholas Lawson it's a joke :)
    After all, the "T" in "HTML" is for "text" :)

    +Markos Giannopoulos Just make the site inaccessible to IE, lol. Redirect to a page that tells the user that their browser isn't supported and offer links to download chrome or Firefox.
