Take Your Design To The Next Level With CSS3 jmpsmashingcss3
Fearful forabeautifulwebcoms598
Great article thanks but I think to wait that the most of browsers support CSS3 totally to develop websites for my clients
Comments from Smashing Magazine readers on jmpsmashingcss3
ldquo rdquo
I hope CSS3 will be a standard in the near future right now you cant really use anything of it rsquocause not every browser supports it
Comments from Smashing Magazine readers on jmpsmashingcss3
ldquo rdquo
CSS 3 rocks Unfortunately we need to stay at least 5 more years with CSS 21 if we want to offer the same design to each user (what in most lsquocommercialrsquo projects is necessary)
Comments from Smashing Magazine readers on jmpsmashingcss3
ldquo rdquo
I canrsquot wait to use CSS3 in a real project Unfortunately Irsquom going to be stuck with things as they are for the time being as I wait for my clients to catch up I expect this will be the case for most designers for the time being
Comments from Smashing Magazine readers on jmpsmashingcss3
ldquo rdquo
CSS3 looks really good however because of IE it will be long time before I start using it
Comments from Smashing Magazine readers on jmpsmashingcss3

If 98 of the users canrsquot see a text-shadow it doesnrsquot matter but itrsquoll be a nice enrichment for the 2 of users who can

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

Take Your Design To The Next Level With CSS3 jmpsmashingcss3

Great article thanks but I think to wait that the most of browsers support CSS3 totally to develop websites for my clients
Comments from Smashing Magazine readers on jmpsmashingcss3
ldquo rdquo
I hope CSS3 will be a standard in the near future right now you cant really use anything of it rsquocause not every browser supports it
Comments from Smashing Magazine readers on jmpsmashingcss3
ldquo rdquo
CSS 3 rocks Unfortunately we need to stay at least 5 more years with CSS 21 if we want to offer the same design to each user (what in most lsquocommercialrsquo projects is necessary)
Comments from Smashing Magazine readers on jmpsmashingcss3
ldquo rdquo
I canrsquot wait to use CSS3 in a real project Unfortunately Irsquom going to be stuck with things as they are for the time being as I wait for my clients to catch up I expect this will be the case for most designers for the time being
Comments from Smashing Magazine readers on jmpsmashingcss3
ldquo rdquo
CSS3 looks really good however because of IE it will be long time before I start using it
Comments from Smashing Magazine readers on jmpsmashingcss3

These arguments are complete and utter bullshit
If 98 of the users canrsquot see a text-shadow it doesnrsquot matter but itrsquoll be a nice enrichment for the 2 of users who can

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

Shameless plug
What are we worried about
Some users see lsquobrokenrsquo sites
Donrsquot build broken sites basic support can be offered as long as it doesnrsquot look broken If itrsquos a real problem for older browsers use universalie6css a warning message or something similar
But this visual treatment is integral to the brand
Then include it (if not donrsquot worry)
Missing rounded corners donrsquot matter
Take Your Design To The Next Level With CSS3 jmpsmashingcss3

Great article thanks but I think to wait that the most of browsers support CSS3 totally to develop websites for my clients
Comments from Smashing Magazine readers on jmpsmashingcss3
ldquo rdquo
I hope CSS3 will be a standard in the near future right now you cant really use anything of it rsquocause not every browser supports it
Comments from Smashing Magazine readers on jmpsmashingcss3
ldquo rdquo
CSS 3 rocks Unfortunately we need to stay at least 5 more years with CSS 21 if we want to offer the same design to each user (what in most lsquocommercialrsquo projects is necessary)
Comments from Smashing Magazine readers on jmpsmashingcss3
ldquo rdquo
I canrsquot wait to use CSS3 in a real project Unfortunately Irsquom going to be stuck with things as they are for the time being as I wait for my clients to catch up I expect this will be the case for most designers for the time being
Comments from Smashing Magazine readers on jmpsmashingcss3
ldquo rdquo
CSS3 looks really good however because of IE it will be long time before I start using it
Comments from Smashing Magazine readers on jmpsmashingcss3

These arguments are complete and utter bullshit
If 98 of the users canrsquot see a text-shadow it doesnrsquot matter but itrsquoll be a nice enrichment for the 2 of users who can

The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

Great article thanks but I think to wait that the most of browsers support CSS3 totally to develop websites for my clients

I hope CSS3 will be a standard in the near future right now you cant really use anything of it rsquocause not every browser supports it
Comments from Smashing Magazine readers on jmpsmashingcss3

CSS 3 rocks Unfortunately we need to stay at least 5 more years with CSS 21 if we want to offer the same design to each user (what in most lsquocommercialrsquo projects is necessary)
Comments from Smashing Magazine readers on jmpsmashingcss3

I canrsquot wait to use CSS3 in a real project Unfortunately Irsquom going to be stuck with things as they are for the time being as I wait for my clients to catch up I expect this will be the case for most designers for the time being

CSS3 looks really good however because of IE it will be long time before I start using it

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution

It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

Do websites need to look exactly the same in every browser
Websites will never look consistent across all browsers
Rendering engines operating systems and user-specific variables like screen settings and resolution will always stand in the way
So stop trying to reach the unreachable Embrace the differences

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

The best of both worlds the accessibility and lsquoselectabilityrsquo of HTML but with (some of) the benefits of Flash-based rendering
Gracefully degrades for users without Flash JS

= Layout is still determined by HTML
Mike Davidson mikeindustriescomblogsifr
While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

Do websites need to look exactly the same in every browser
Websites will never look consistent across all browsers
Rendering engines operating systems and user-specific variables like screen settings and resolution will always stand in the way
So stop trying to reach the unreachable Embrace the differences

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

10 of users today will be 100 of users tomorrow
The amount of people who see your enrichments might seem small right now but that number will only grow not decline
Itrsquos our duty to push forward-thinking development to make the most of the tools made available to usand our users
New CSS techniques will never become mainstream if we designers arenrsquot using them

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available

While sIFR gives us better typography today it is clearly not the solution for the next 20 years
It is but a nice stopgap for people who value the importance of typography and donrsquot want to wait 1 5 or 10 years for browser makers OS vendors and type foundries to figure out a better solution
The moment that happens however sIFR will lift right out and give way to whatever other method is available
