This pseudo-class is directed at the document's root element. In HTML this is <html>. For example: :root { background-color:blue; } will set the background of the whole document blue.
When tested, it worked in Firefox and Safari, but failed in IE and Opera (see the screenshots below).

Surprised you didn't try IE7 that works in every case. Relying on a beta in a comparison test is dangerous.

For a site thats "by developers for developers", it's surprising that the author of this article links huge, bandwidth wasting BMPs instead of PNG which would have been much smaller in size.

Hi,
its unfair you used all the latest beta's or versions of IE, FF and Safari but you are using old version of Opera.
Each and every test that you gave here is working in Opera 9.5 beta.
If you make a comparsion give equal chance to everyone. Either stable versions or beta's.
Anyway good test.

This all worked in Google Chrome, in case anyone is using it. All the CSS is working fine, they fixed some serious AJAX issues it had at first, but now it's fine.
Java still isn't compatible, but that's not part of this article.
CSS works perfectly.
