Well, we can expect our next browser releases sometime in the third quarter of the year.

FF3 is in beta, and you can get it now... and its wonderful might I add.

IE8 is of course being hidden by MS, and they say 24 months. So 6 years from now when they actually release it... maybe it will fully support css2, but by then we will be using telepathy to transfer data so... yeah.

They seem to be paying a lot of attention to web standards this go around, and their model hasn't significantly changed like it did from IE6 to IE7. As well as the introduction of a new meta mode. IE8 might be fun to use on my 80th birthday.

Its going to be an interesting few years with browsers. With mozilla doing a major release every year, and IE actually paying attention to webstandards.org and w3c.

All I know is that they allege that IE8 has already passed the acid2 test. Where neither my ff2 or my ff3b pass it. Then again, the test is to see if the browser can handle bad css... only IE would bloat about being able to digest bad css.

Anywho, yeah... passing style variables through smarty would be cool. Sublime and I were working on a module to handle it a while back, but I guess we saw something shiny and got distracted. Though it would have been php. Simple to do it as a module. with a little call to the database to retrieve user defined hex values, then pass them onto the stylesheet. it really is just a matter of wrapping php around a skeletal css file, and writing to it with the customizable classes / divs / tds / tables .. blah blah blah on submit.

Atleast that was the way I had planned to do it.
