I used to use Flash (Adobe Captivate) for creating CBT testing and tracking to a DB, but iPad tablet doesn't support flash, so I need to find a different technology. I also need to support older browsers like IE8 and am concerned about HTML5.

You can use Captivate 8. Best mode for what it sounds like you want is the Responsive Projects (which is not a powerpoint conversion). It publishes in html 5 and runs on iPads and other mobile devices. Seems to be several problems with Android devices, but translation to iPads for simple stuff is pretty sleek. SWF output is still an option with Cap 8, but it won't run on tablets.
Warning - it is new technology and seems to have some bugs, especially with video on the iPad. Firefox on the iPad has problems, maybe Chrome too. Personally I miss the design once, deploy everywhere days that we had with Flash.

Is there a way to use CSS outside of the browser? Let's say I wanted to use it on creating desktop apps for Windows, Mac OSX or any other operating system.
Yes CSS is Often Used Outside of a Browser
Yes. When people develop with apps such as React, we use CSS and SCSS just like you would on a webpage.
Below is a sample of using CSS with React using JavaScript
Your question is very unspecific regarding e.g. the programming language you want to use. There are a lot of frameworks out there used to create desktop frontends. Some of them also use CSS-like notation to define their look, such as JavaFx.
But if your target is to create a webpage that runs in both browser and as native desktop app, I guess the best way is to run a browser engine inside your app.
Edit to answer your comment: It's not dependent on the programming language but related to the framework you use. Every framework works a bit differently here but some use the CSS notation. But as StackOverflow is not the place to ask for a list of frameworks I would recommend you to do some research on your own.

We are concerned about accessibility on our web site and would like to see how it is perceived and decoded by a common screen reader?
No. At least not one that is any good nor represents how a screen reader actually reads a page or responds to ARIA.
The best answer is to test in real screen readers, ideally by getting real users as they know how to use these tools. Consider contacting your local blind association and see if they offer testing services.
Screen Readers
Each platform has a screen reader, most are built in. Windows has the most variety.
For Windows
Use Narrator (it is built in, though not very good right now it is getting much better). Use it with Edge.
Download the free NVDA screen reader (but please donate to support it). Use it with Firefox
Download JAWS and use it in 40 minute increments for free. Use it with IE11.
For macOS
Use VoiceOver (it is built in). Use it with Safari.
For iOS
Use VoiceOver (it is built in). Use it with Safari.
For Android
Use TalkBack. Use it with Firefox.
For Ubuntu
Use Orca.
For ChromeOS
Use ChromeVox (but only use ChromeVox in this scenario, not as a plug-in for Chrome on Windows or macOS).
Resources
These are handy to get started with testing on your own. Keyboard shortcuts are necessary to use a screen reader well, beyond just hitting the Tab key over and over and over.

is there any sample demonstrating a responsive web site built on React?
Want to have my site on Desktops and Smartphone, maybe tablet.
No it isn't the next Facebook UI, it is for very limited user circle, maintaining a measurement System.
With best regards

There are lots of responsive sites built with React, but they are no different to responsive sites built with Angular, Ember or any other library. The bit that makes them responsive is CSS and media queries — not Javascript.
Mostly it's easier to work with a responsive grid, than by writing media queries yourself. Pick a CSS framework/library that offers a responsive grid (there are many), then look for examples of people using that specific framework and learn to use the responsive grid in a Javascript-free setting.
You'll find that you don't need Javascript to make a responsive site.
React is data, logic and structure.
CSS is appearance and presentation.
Remind you, that SO is not the place where I can just put links.
But to answer your question:
Yes, React can be use to make responsive website. Though the term "responsive" is more on the CSS layer.

Hi everyone for the past 6 months I have been practising on creating websites with XHTML/CSS/Javascript/jQuery
I've learned alot and I'm pretty confident on my skills, my only problem is that my CSS dosen't work cross-browser on older browsers especially in internet explorer 6 and 7.
So what I want to know is if anyone can recommend me some books or resources that can help me to create cross browser CSS?
http://www.edgeofmyseat.com/blog/all/developing-css-for-ie6-and-7
Read this, it goes through pretty much the in's and out's of it. The best resource you'll ever need is Google, and use a reset css. Which is here:
http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/
Well this claims to be the ultimate guide to techniques for cross browser css, so should have some useful information for you.
just found another useful link too the principles of cross browser coding in css

I'm looking for a tool to do some automated GUI testing on a HTML5 canvas component we're developing. Basically I'm looking for a tool that is able to record the clicks and events on the canvas component and is able to replay those events.
So far most of the testing tools like Telerik WebUI Testing Suite, Selenium, TestSwarm, qUnit, Jasmine, Hudson seems that they don't fully support HTML5 canvas testing.
Would you guys know a testing tool that already supports that? If not, would you know how companies are doing automated testing of HTML5 canvas?
In Telerik Test Studio latest release, we have added support for many of the HTML5 tags like Canvas, Audio and Video tags. All the HTML tags are accessible using code and are under the:
ArtOfTest.WebAii.HtmlControls namespace. You will find HTML5 controls like:
HtmlCanvas, HtmlAudio, HtmlVideo, HtmlMeter and all the expanded HtmlInput types like HtmlInputEmail, HtmlInputSearch..etc.
For the HtmlCanvas, you actually have access to the 2D Context of the control. So you even manipulate it and can do things like:
HtmlCanvas.Context2dRotate(), HtmlCanvas.Context2dTransform()...etc.
