Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
- charliepark 16y agoShouldn't what? Experiment and write a tutorial? Maybe you wouldn't ever put them on a site, and maybe I wouldn't ever put them on a site, but the state of the art only advances when people create experiments like this and then share the process. Snark is easy. Coming up with experiments and then writing about them is far more impressive, even if the experiments don't ever see the practical application.
- richbradshaw 16y agoNot all HTML and CSS happens in a browser. Many interfaces are written that are rendered by webkit, and in those instances this is awesome.
- ciupicri 16y agoCould you give some examples, please?
- bricestacey 16y agoI don't have examples, but many "web developers" create desktop apps that thinly wrap webkit or their rendering engine of choice to permit HTML/CSS markup for their GUI. I do this with Prism all the time to deploy web apps to my company, but you could equally embed webkit yourself into any app - and use these buttons in a single (known working) environment.
- po 16y agoAn example would be Wolfire's upcoming game Overgrowth. Their level editor has an embedded webkit browser which is used to render their tool palettes. Everything is done in HTML/CSS.
