Eric Meyer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eric A. Meyer is an American web design consultant and author. He is best known for his advocacy work on behalf of web standards, most notably Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), a technique for managing how HTML is displayed. Meyer has written a number of books and articles on CSS and given many presentations promoting its use.
In 2008, Meyer supported a controversial Microsoft proposal for Internet Explorer 8 related to backwards compatibility modes for rendering invalid HTML and other markup; the proposal, and Meyer's support, subsequently drew much criticism from the web authoring community. [1] [2] [3] [4]
