Why You Might Want to be Cautious of the Newly Released Prefixr

One of Tuts+ editors, Jeffery Way, just released the really awesome tool, Prefixr, that combats the stress of cross-browser compatibility. It's a simple tool used to make your CSS code cross-browser-prepared. A problem occurs unexpectedly and unnoticeable, though, which you must be aware of.

 

You are initially finished with your CSS. You've added all of the necessary fixes that will make your website's design stick out perfectly; but when you go to use Prefixr, for easy cross-browser compatibility, and you've actually done that, you realize something isn't right with your original work.

 

Why, though?

 

It's because you've either been code-jacked, some lines were confusing to the Prefixr, or worst: one color or another became an entirely different color! So, when you put your code into the Prefixr, make sure to manually check your code. Otherwise, your website is bound to be corrupted in some small but jeopardizing way.

Interesting, I had this site saved for future CSS3 work. One thing that people should also be aware of. Even if it outputs the correct code or you fix it, doesn't mean it will not break later as the specifications for CSS3 and HTML5 are not yet final. I ran into this issue while trying gradients. The code I had found had already been updated to a little different syntax for one particular browser. Was very frustrating until research showed that new code was needed to produce the gradient.

Hi Jarod, did you send feedback to let them know about the bug? They mentioned it was in Alpha release, and that there would be bugs, so just let them know through the feedback form :)
