Color Cycling in HTML5 (also, pretty old-school game artwork) - by Digital Nightfall

Hey Yakoob - 27th of July is on the phone; they want their post content back.

Actually, it's the opposite. The colour table is the content, and the image is one possible presentation of the colour table.
... what exactly do the words "content" and "presentation" mean, what is useful about making the distinction, and how would the distinction apply here?

This is webcoding, or at least HTML3/4 use, 101. Content is the actual content, ie the words, the articles, the posts, the items for sale. Presentation is just how it looks.
What is useful about making the distinction is that on different platforms your presentation might look different but the important thing is to deliver the content in a way that is sensible and accessible regardless.
The distinction doesn't really apply here, we were just having a webcoders circlejerk. Besides, I think that presentation has become so wrapped up in content these days it hardly matters. AJAX delivery can arguably be called presentation, but at the same time it's a content enhancer so you know, who cares anymore. The guys at Sitepoint.com probably but we need that kind of strict backbone now and again. About now I'm betting those nerds are insisting on XML/CCS3/AJAX only:p
But seriously I <3 Sitepoint <3 <3

Exactly. The whole point of the image is lost without the colour cycling, and vice versa. There's no point trying to make the distinction in this context.

My opinion is that color cycling will be mostly used just for decoration purposes, f.e. emphasized borders, backgrounds, or text, i.e. presentation. Anyway, I'm sure the color cycling as well as elements move will be implemented in the new CSS versions.

(Because I seem to fail at communicating on the internet, again, I'll say it plainly. We're both agreeing with one another here. I just appear to be doing a shit job of it.)

Pretty damn impressive imo. HTML5 cant be fully adopted quickly enough.
