Achieving Vertical Alignment (Thanks, Subgrid!)


Our tools for vertical alignment have gotten a lot better as of late. My early days as a website designer involved laying out 960px wide homepage designs and aligning things horizontally across a page using a 12-column grid. Media queries came along which required a serious mental shift. It solved...

Using a brightness() filter to generically highlight content


Rick Strahl: I can’t tell you how many times over the years I’ve implemented a custom ‘button’ like CSS implementation. Over the years I’ve used images, backgrounds, gradients, and opacity to effectively ‘highlight’ a control. All that works of course,...

What Will Students Learn at China’s First Blockchain Undergrad Course?


Blockchain-related subject matters are no stranger to the classroom, with courses now available all over the world, but China is on the verge of an educational first – with a batch of students set to begin their studies at the nation’s first blockchain engineering undergraduate course. So what will...

Nailing the Perfect Contrast Between Light Text and a Background Image


Have you ever come across a site where light text is sitting on a light background image? If you have, you’ll know how difficult that is to read. A popular way to avoid that is to use a transparent overlay. But this leads to an important question: Just how transparent should that overlay...

The Mad Magazine Fold-In Effect in CSS


This was always my favorite thing in Mad magazine. One page (the inside of the back cover, I think) was covered in a zany illustration. You folded that page in thirds, covering up the middle-third of that image, and a new image would form because the illustration was designed to perfectly line...

No-Class CSS Frameworks


I linked up Water.css not long ago as an interesting sort of CSS framework. No classes. No <h2 class="is-title">. You just use semantic HTML and get styles. Is that going to “scale” very far? Probably not, but it sure is handy for styling things quickly, where — of course...

Learn Eleventy From Scratch


The latest edition of Andy Bell’s Piccalilli landed in my inbox this morning with a sweet offer: preorder Andy’s course on learning Eleventy from scratch at a third of the price. Why the plug? No, not sponsorships or anything like that. I just happen to hear a heckuva lot about Eleventy...

Google’s Technical Writing Guide


It’s good! I’ve written up my advice (sprinkled with great advice from others), but this is way more straightforward nuts-and-bolts training on technical writing. It’s structured like an actual course, with exercises along the way. I’m far from an expert here. But between...

Auto-Growing Inputs & Textareas


By default, <input> and <textarea> elements don't change size based on the content they contain. In fact, there isn't any simple HTML or CSS way to make them do that. Kinda funny, as that seems like a reasonable use-case. But of course, there are ways, my friend. There are always...
