I really want to use css3 because I love the functionality.
When you go to the MDN site and it says - don't use this as it is too early (blah blah blah)....
What techniques exist to test whether a browser is running the correct technology or not? (ie in sass @if css3==supported { do this }@else { do this }
Does such a feature exist? I tried googling but struggled to find answers
What suggestions does anyone have about how to cope with backward browser compatibility whilst still pushing forward with cutting edge css!!!

7,760 Pointsmaybe it should be something more like
@if css-masking==supported { do this }
because checking for css3 might not go far enough
