Andy Clarke wrote this article about how to do the browser testing today, especially if you use a lot of CSS3 and html5 elements in your Website.. He’s testing the Website CannyBill which is full of the new features like “RGBa, “border radius”, “box shadows”…
And best, his short but powerful sentece: Websites should not look the same in every browser! I totally agree with Andy!!!
The time where websites were full of transparent PNG images and PNG fixes is over!
CSS3 is featuring RGBA! Just write your rgb colour code and add the transparancy:
RGBA Browser-Support:
Like a lot of the features, RGBA is supported by a lot of the newest browsers, but not the rest. Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera browsers all support RGBA, but Internet Explorer does not. Fortunately, we can specify RGBA colours for browsers that support it and an alternative for browsers that do not.
Do the Fallback!
The simplest technique is to allow the browser to fall back to using a solid colour when opacity isn’t available.
