Slashdot Now Using CSS


Well, I don’t know if hell froze over or if pigs can now fly, but I checked Slashdot today and noticed that they have finally upgraded their site to use CSS for layout. It looks pretty good! It also appears that the Slashdot Rendering Bug is no longer an issue. I find it amusing that Slashdot provided a solution for this bug before it was fixed in Firefox. The bug has been present in Firefox for quite a long time. I remember experiencing rendering problems since at least 0.7.

Update: While browsing the comments on Slashdot, I found an interesting article entitled, Sending XHTML as text/html Considered Harmful, which describes why you should use HTML 4.01 instead of XHTML.
