I liked the idea of CSS (seperating presentation from content), but was very 
disappointed with the extent of support provided by the various (popular) 
browsers. Got to be a real pain checking CSS page rendering on IE/Windows, 
IE/Mac, Netscape/Windows, Netscape, Linux... you get the idea.


>the combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/ECMAScript.

Wonder if it's worth bothering with Javascript anymore, as it was a creature 
of Netscape which is now owned by AOL. Any new development going on with JS, 
standard-wise as well as browser-wise??

Seems server-side processing pretty much killed cleint-side 
Java/Javascripting, except for small applications - Yes?
