Skateside's Ramblings > Using JavaScript to detect CSS Support
Posted 26 February 2012
Have you ever had a client that explicitly asked for rounded corners and drop shadows on their design? It's a royal pain in the ... well, it's a royal pain. Every modern piece of CSS you want to use: box-shadow, box-radius, [font="Courier...
