I think the vision for HTML5 or the future web is actually pretty close to what you envision. You just mark up your information and the browser represents it in the "right" way (e.g. native implementations). The HTML5 form field types are a step in that direction. However, don't know if all developers/designers like that vision. Stifles creativity...
- WayneDB 13y agoI'd like to agree with you, but I don't think HTML5 is going to change anything unless they get rid of the HTML part. I don't every want to layout my UI by saying "div div div div div div div". I want to say "window menubar toolbar grid treeview datagrid statusbar" and then I want it to show me the native representation of those things.
- ace_of_spades 13y agoYeah, that's why the spec started to introduce semantic tags (http://www.pageresource.com/html5/semantic-tags/ http://www.pageresource.com/html5/semantic-tags/). I'm not arguing that we are anywhere close to what you want, I'm just saying that the web is evolving in that direction.
- WayneDB 13y agoI guess we'll have to wait and see. It is going to be interesting to see where we are in 10 more years.
