A First Look at `aspect-ratio`

29.5.2020
Oh hey! A brand new property that affects how a box is sized! That’s a big deal. There are lots of ways already to make an aspect-ratio sized box (and I’d say this custom properties based solution is the best), but none of them are particularly intuitive and certainly not...

The Fastest Google Fonts

22.5.2020
When you use font-display: swap;, which Google Fonts does when you use the default &display=swap part of the URL , you’re already saying, “I’m cool with FOUT,” which is another way of saying web text is displayed right away, and when the web font is ready...

Unprefixed `appearance `

18.5.2020
It’s interesting how third-parties are sometimes super involved in pushing browser things forward. One big story there was how Bloomberg hired Igalia to implement CSS grid across the browsers. Here’s another story of Bocoup doing that, this time for the appearance property. The story...

CSS Animation Timelines: Building a Rube Goldberg Machine

12.5.2020
If you’re going to build a multi-step CSS animation or transition, you have a particular conundrum. The second step needs a delay that is equal to the duration of the first step. And the third step is equal to the duration of the first two steps, plus any delay in between. It gets more...

@property

25.4.2020
The @property is totally new to me, but I see it’s headed to Chrome, so I suppose it’s good to know about! There is a draft spec and an “intent to ship” document. The code from that document shows: @property --my-property { syntax: "<color"; initial-value: green; ...

How to Make a CSS-Only Carousel

24.4.2020
We mentioned a way to make a CSS-only carousel in a recent issue of the newsletter and I thought that a more detailed write up would be interesting and capture some of my thoughts on making one. So, here’s what we’re making today: There’s no JavaScript here, whatsoever! No jQuery plugins....

Creating Color Themes With Custom Properties, HSL, and a Little calc()

16.4.2020
Before the advent of CSS custom properties (we might call them “variables” in this article as that’s the spirit of them), implementing multiple color schemes on the same website usually meant writing separate stylesheets. Definitely not the most maintainable thing in the world. Nowadays, though,...

CSS Scrollbar With Progress Meter

15.4.2020
Scrollbars are natural progress meters. How far the scrollbar is down or across is how much progress has been made scrolling through that element (often the entire page). But, they are more like progress indicators than meters, if you think of a meter as something that “fills up” as...

Using CSS to Set Text Inside a Circle

14.4.2020
You want to set some text inside the shape of a circle with HTML and CSS? That’s crazy talk, right? Not really! Thanks to shape-outside and some pure CSS trickery it is possible to do exactly that.  However, this can be a fiddly layout option. We have to take lots of different things into...

Getting JavaScript to Talk to CSS and Sass

3.4.2020
JavaScript and CSS have lived beside one another for upwards of 20 years. And yet it’s been remarkably tough to share data between them. There have been large attempts, sure. But, I have something simple and intuitive in mind — something not involving a structural change, but rather putting...

Performant Expandable Animations: Building Keyframes on the Fly

1.4.2020
Animations have come a long way, continuously providing developers with better tools. CSS Animations, in particular, have defined the ground floor to solve the majority of uses cases. However, there are some animations that require a little bit more work. You probably know that animations should...

CSS Grid provides us with a powerful layout system for websites. The CSS-Tricks guide gives you a comprehensive overview of Grid’s properties with layout examples. What we’re going to do here is a reverse approach to show you the smallest possible set of grid properties you need to know to meet...

How to use CSS Scroll Snap

27.3.2020
Nada Rifki demonstrates the scroll-snap-type and scroll-snap-alignCSS properties. I like that the demo shows that the items in the scrolling container can be different sizes. It is the edges of those children that matter, not some fixed snapping distance. I like Max Kohler's coverage...

Did You Know the Ordered List Element Has Start and Reversed Attributes?

24.3.2020
I sure didn't! Tomek Sułkowsi shows how we can reverse the numbering of ordered lists with a simple HTML attribute: <ol reversed<liApple</li<liBanana</li<liPear</li</ol CodePen Embed Fallback And the start attribute can be added to begin the list at a number other...

Flexbox and absolute positioning

18.3.2020
Chen Hui Jing notes that when you absolutely position a flex item, it's no longer part of the flex layout. Except... it kinda is a little bit. If you make the child position: absolute; but don't apply any top/right/bottom/left properties, then flexbox alignment will still apply to it. It's odd...

A Complete Guide to calc() in CSS

17.3.2020
CSS has a special calc() function for doing basic math. Here's an example: .main-content { /* Subtract 80px from 100vh */ height: calc(100vh - 80px); } In this guide, let's cover just about everything there is to know about this very useful function. calc() is for values The only place you...

How to Make a Line Chart With CSS

11.3.2020
Line,  bar, and pie charts are the bread and butter of dashboards and are the basic components of any data visualization toolkit. Sure, you can use SVG or a JavaScript chart library like Chart.js or a complex tool like D3 to create those charts, but what if you don't want to load yet another...
