Image Fragmentation Effect With CSS Masks and Custom Properties
23.3.2021
Geoff shared this idea of a checkerboard where the tiles disappear one-by-one to reveal an image. In it, an element has a background image, then a CSS Grid layout holds the “tiles” that go from a filled background color to …

Is CSS float deprecated?
12.2.2021
An interesting conversation came up at work the other day: Should we use the CSS float property now that we have CSS Grid and Flexbox?
The short answer
No! Well, mostly. I’d only use it today for wrapping text around …

Checkerboard Reveal
25.1.2021
Back when I was 10, I remember my cousin visiting our house. He was (and still is) a cool kid, the kind who’d bring his own self-programmed chess game on a floppy disk. And his version of chess was …

You want minmax(10px, 1fr) not 1fr
22.1.2021
There are a lot of grids on the web like this:
.grid {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
}
My message is that what they really should be is:
.grid {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(3, minmax(10px, 1fr));
}
Why? In …

A Utility Class for Covering Elements
26.12.2020
Big ol’ same to Michelle Barker here:
Here’s something I find myself needing to do again and again in CSS: completely covering one element with another. It’s the same CSS every time: the first element (the one that needs to be covered) has position: relative applied to it....
A Calendar in Three Lines of CSS
24.12.2020
This article has no byline and is on a website that is even more weirdly specific than this one is, but I appreciate the trick here. A seven-column grid makes for a calendar layout pretty quick. You can let the days (grid items) fall onto it naturally, except kick the first day over to the correct...
“I Don’t Know”
21.12.2020
I’ve learned to be more comfortable not knowing. “I don’t know”, comes easier now. “I don’t know anything about that.” It’s okay. It feels good to say.
Whether it’s service workers, Houdini, shadow DOM, web components, HTTP2, CSS grid, “micro-front ends”, AVIF… there are many paths before...
Slow Movement
16.12.2020
There was a time when I felt overwhelmed by how fast the web developed. It seemed like not a single day passed without a new plugin, framework, technique, or language feature being released. I believed that in order to survive as a freelancer and to compete with others I had to learn everything...
Representation Matters
15.12.2020
This year I had the pleasure of re-launching The Accessibility Project. I spend a lot of time researching and writing about accessibility and inclusive design, so this felt like the cumulation of a lot of that effort. The site now uses all sorts of cool web features like CSS Grid, @supports,...
How to Get Sticky and Full-Bleed Elements to Play Well Together
4.12.2020
I had a unique requirement the other day: to build a layout with full-bleed elements while one element stays stuck to the top. This ended up being rather tricky to pull off so I’m documenting it here in case anyone needs to re-create this same effect. Part of the trickiness was dealing with logical...
Native CSS Masonry Layout In CSS Grid
1.12.2020
Rachel Andrew introducing the fact that masonry layout is going to be a thing in native CSS via CSS grid layout. The thing with masonry is that we can already do it for the most part, but there is just one thing that makes it hard: doing the vertical-staggering and having a left-to-right source...

grid-auto-flow : CSS Grid :: flex-direction : Flexbox

When setting a parent element to display: flex, its child elements align left-to-right like this:

Now, one of the neat things we can do with flexbox is change the direction so that child elements are stacked vertically on top of each other in a column. We can do that with...
Thinking Outside the Box with CSS Grid
19.11.2020
Great tutorial from Alex Trost (based on some demos, like this one, from Andy Barefoot) showcasing how, while CSS grid has straight grid lines across and down, you can place items across grid lines creating a staggered effect that looks pretty rad. Grid-like, but it appears to align to diagonal...
The Cleanest Trick for Autogrowing Textareas
11.11.2020
Earlier this year I wrote a bit about autogrowing textareas and inputs. The idea was to make a <textarea> more like a <div> so it expands in height as much as it needs to in order to contain the current value. It’s almost weird there isn’t a simple native solution...
