There's an ongoing debate amongst developers as to which is better: soft or hard tabs. Why does this matter? In a collaborative work environment everyone needs to use the same kind and size of tabs to avoid messy differences between different peoples' code. Many argue that soft tabs are the best solution. I argue that hard tabs are better, and here's why...

Mobile Safari on the iPhone, iPod and iPad does a great job of scaling websites to fit the viewport, including scaling of CSS background images. It does result in some minor visual artifacts (often thin lines at the edges of images), but all in all makes full websites very usable.

I have worked in the field of web development for a number of years now and worked with designers who range quite widely in skill and expertise.

I therefore wanted to take a minute to chat about form vs function, what works for web and what doesn't, to help give designers ideas on how they can improve their web designs.
