26.1.2022
Say you have three HTML classes, and a DOM element should only have one of them at a time:

Now your job is to rotate them. That is, cycle through classes …

29.12.2021

Can Include (a Certain HTML element within another Certain HTML Element)
22.10.2021
A single-serving website from Alexander Vishnyakov for testing if it’s valid to put any particular HTML element within another type of HTML element. Kinda neat to have a quick reference for this.

When a Click is Not Just a Click

The Making (and Potential Benefits) of a CSS Font
22.4.2021
Not a typical one, at least. Each character is an HTML element, built with CSS. A true web font!
Let me elaborate. This is a way to render text without using any font at all. Random text is split with …

Detect CSS Overflow Elements
8.4.2021
Every once in a while you encounter a CSS annoyance that takes some cleverness to discover. One such case rears its ugly head in unwanted and unexpected scrollbars. When I see unwanted scrollbars, I usually open developer tools, click the element inspector, and hover around until I find...
Dynamically Switching From One HTML Element to Another in Vue

A friend once contacted me asking if I had a way to dynamically change one HTML element into another within Vue’s template block. For instance, shifting a <div> element to a <span> element based on some criteria. The trick was …

How to Add Text in Borders Using Basic HTML Elements
1.12.2020
Some HTML elements come with preset designs, like the inconveniently small squares of <input type="checkbox"> elements, the limited-color bars of <meter> elements, and the “something about them bothers me” arrows of the <details> elements. We can style them to match...
How to Animate the Details Element Using WAAPI

8.6.2020
We can use JavaScript to get the value of a CSS custom property. Robin wrote up a detailed explanation about this in Get a CSS Custom Property Value with JavaScript. To review, let’s say we’ve declared a single custom property on the HTML element:

Unfortunately, clip-path: path() is Still a No-Go
2.3.2020
I was extremely excited when I first heard that clip-path: path() was coming to Firefox. Just imagine being able to easily code a breathing box like the one below with just one HTML element and very little CSS without needing SVG or a huge list of points inside the polygon function!

The Teletype Text Element Lives On… at Least on This Site
11.10.2019
It was this: <tt>
I say "was" because it's deprecated. It may still "work" (like everybody's favorite <marquee> in some browsers), but it could stop working anytime, they say. The whole purpose of it was to display text in a monospace font, like the way Teletype machines used...

Perhaps the easiest way to offer that to the user is a link that targets an ID on the <html> element. So like...
