Extremely Early CSS?

[Radium]

Hi:

I cross-posted to many groups and set follow-ups to even more groups.
I know this is frowned-upon but I only did this with relevant groups
after going a Google-Groups search and sorting by relevance. I
apologize profusely to those who are annoyed by my cross-posting and
follow-ups.

What was the earliest version of CSS [Cascading Style Sheets]?

What type of CSS was used in 1990? In the 80s? Before?

What CSS was used -- if at all -- with Windows 3.0*? With DOS? With
Apple II?

*When I say Windows 3.0, I mean exactly Windows 3.0. Not Windows 3.0a.

Please note that these are not homework questions but questions out of
my own interest in CSS, computer history, web design, and internet
history.

No offense but please respond with reasonable answers & keep out the
jokes, off-topic nonsense, taunts, insults, and trivializations. I am
really interested in this.


Thanks for your assistance,

Radium

Don't know what drugs you've been taking but they've really affecting
your memory. Best see your MD and discuss adjusting your meds. No, I'm
not joking.

Seriously, CSS is fairly recent. Netscape 4 and earlier versions of IE
didn't do very well with them, if at all. There wasn't a browser on
Apple II or DOS or even Windows 3.0. Mosaic didn't start until 1992:

What, exactly, do you expect to happen with this approach? Where did you
hear about follow-ups? What did you hear about them? Bonus question:
What does perl.cpan.testers have to do with an origin-of-CSS question?

I know this is frowned-upon but I

am both obnoxious and quite insane.

I remember back when I was in Berkeley in the Summer of Love, tripping
on acid and working part-time in an Internet cafe in Haight-Ashbury. It
was 1967 and this coffee shop run by this cat named Humpty (who always
had the good weed, man) installed a computer that some brothers had
liberated from a military base. And my old lady, Janice, had this flower
shop down the street, man, and it was cool, but she wasn't making the
bread, you know? So I made a Web page in HTML, dig? And I thought to
myself, one night, I thought to myself, man, setting fonts and sizes
individually just _bites_ man, you know? I mean, changing the colors of
all the flowers was, like, a total _bitch_, man. So I used CSS. But I
don't remember a version number. It was, like, dark. It got dark.

No offense

Too late.

I know a very early version of CSS that was used on the website of
Elvis. That must have been early 70s. Maybe version number 0.8beta? The
only style that could be applied was

body {
love-me: tender;
}

which could be directly applied to the body-element and resulted in a
very harmonic background color scheme. I think it was declared as
deprecated by the W3C in the mid 80's (it didn't work on MSX-computers).

yeah windows 3.0! Those were times! I remember using CSS on my ZX-81
(early 80s just after the love-me: tender; rule got banned!

I know, dude, I know. Windows 3.0a is so old school, and never got the
respect it deserved (nevertheless the unlucky versions 2.5-2.9beta).
