CSS was never, ever meant to allow for pixel-perfect rendering. That's something that wound up being forced on the web when print designers got a hold of FrontPage, Dreamweaver, etc.
Your fix should be to ensure your site continues to work when some of your CSS is ignored.
- nebabyte 10y agoI don't get this seeming holy-war argument for what CSS 'should' and 'shouldn't' be used for that somehow attempts to discount the contrasting opinions those print designers (and their ecosystem) likely have. CSS can be used for many things; that's part of the beauty of an open standard. I don't see what's wrong with those users pushing to maintain their ecosystem on a platform which clearly can support it to create works which benefit everyone.
