What is latest version of css

[jasir]

Hey i want to know about latest version of css i am using css3 ,but i heard somewhere css5 is the latest version is this fact or just a rumor.

but i heard somewhere css5

In no way is that true. All the features of CSS3 aren’t even fully supported by all browsers because it’s too new. I don’t even think IE 11 supports all the features. For sure IE 10 didn’t support preserve-3d. But no, there is definitely no CSS4 or CSS5 and there likely won’t be for years.

Well, CSS4 is a thing. It’s still a draft, of course, but it’s been getting serious work for the last three years or so.

From what I hear there is no overall CSS4…it’s all being modularised or something into separate areas.

Can’t find the reference right now.

EDIT – Wikipedia

There is no single, integrated CSS4 specification,[37] since it is split into separate modules. However, there are “level 4” modules.

Since CSS3 split the CSS language’s definition into modules, the modules have been allowed to level independently. Most modules are level 3 – they build on things from CSS 2.1.

A few level 4 modules exist (such as Image Values, Backgrounds & Borders, or Selectors), which build on the functionality of a preceding level 3 module. Others define entirely new functionality, such as Flexbox.

So, while no monolithic CSS4 will be worked on after CSS3 is finished completely, the level 4 modules can collectively be referred to as CSS4.

That was my understanding.

But suffice it to say @jasir that you are unlikely to find wide support for any of these modules.

I guess you learn something new everyday. Just looking at the specs it looks really cool. But damn, we don’t even have wide support for flexbox yet. Might be a tad too early for some of this stuff.

Yeah, which is why it’s so hard to keep track of. : )

Oh, agreed. It’s certainly not a starting point.

On another note, it looks like CSS4 was originally going to be called “Cascading Script Sheets?” I see that at one point it was going to support little CSS scripts for content generation? I don’t see this in the link you sent so I’m wondering is it still in the spec?

This seems like a PROFOUNDLY bad idea to me. We ALL end up with spaghetti code sometimes. It’s just a fact of life. This seems to invite it in a way that even PHP isn’t guilty of.
