 my birthday is coming up on thursday so i thought i would make up a list of 5 things i wish to happen with the web in the next year i know that most of these will not happen in that time frame but i can at least wish right the list in no particular order this is what i want for everyone running ie6 to be upgraded by automatic updates for the term web 2 0 to never be heard again for all standards compliant browsers to support attaching multiple background images using css for the ability to render all fonts on the web for all standards compliant browsers to support the nth child selector for everyone running ie6 to be upgraded by automatic updates as all web developers have experienced ie6 sucks but there is good news ie7 is a huge step forward sure it still has some of the same problems that ie6 had but it is basically on par with other standards compliant browsers thankfully microsoft is pushing out ie7 in their automatic updates and the number of people upgrading is rising quickly before we know it ie6 will no longer be the most popular browser any more for the term web 2 0 to never be heard again im sick of it the term is used everywhere even job descriptions there was a good article on fadtastic weekly thought why good designers should stop saying web 2 0 web 2 0 is meaningless and it needs to be vanished from everyones vocabulary for all standards compliant browsers to support attaching multiple background images using css safari already does why dont other standards compliant browsers just take a moment and think about how wonderfully simple the markup would be for rounded corners ahh maybe some day for the ability to render all fonts on the web why cant we upload fonts to our servers and have the browsers download them when needed it cant be the technology it seems like a simple task can you image the possibilities if designers were not restricted to web safe fonts while sifr is awesome there are so many limits to it this needs to happen now for all standards compliant browsers to support the nth child selector no more javascript striping no more using odd and even classes when browsers support structural pseudo classes or more specifically the n th child selector its going to be great we can handle all of the alternating styles that we want using only css what else so what are you getting me what else would you ask for
