7 Uses for CSS Custom Properties

27.12.2019
I find all seven of these quite clever and useful. I particularly like using custom properties when you can sneak a variation into a place where you'd normally have to re-declare a whole big chunk of code. .some-element { background-color: hsla( var(--h, 120), var(--s, 50), var(--l...

css.gg

18.12.2019
I'm not sure what to call these icons from Astrit Malsija. The title is "500+ CSS Icons, Customizable, Retina Ready & API" and the URL is "css.gg" but they aren't really named anything. Anyway, their shtick is: The 🌎's first icon library designed by code. The idea is that they don't...

The Origin Story of Container Queries

16.12.2019
Container queries don’t exist today but a lot of web developers have been arguing in their favor lately. At first, the idea sounds relatively simple: whereas media queries allow us to make style changes based on the width of the browser, container queries would allow us to make style updates when...

Making a Better Custom Select Element

11.12.2019
We just covered The Current State of Styling Selects in 2019, but we didn't get nearly as far and fancy as Julie Grundy gets here. There is a decent chunk of JavaScript that powers it, so I'm still very much eyeballing browsers' recent interest in giving us more powerful selects in (presumably)...

Motion Paths – Past, Present and Future

6.12.2019
Cassie Evans has a great intro to motion paths. That is, being able to animate an element along a path. Not just up/down/left/right, but whatever curvy/wiggly/weird path you want. It's an interesting subject because there are so many different technologies helping to do it over time. SMIL...

Dark Mode Favicons

4.12.2019
Oooo! A bonafide trick from Thomas Steiner. Chrome will soon be supporting SVG favicons (e.g. <link rel="icon" href="/icon.svg">). And you can embed CSS within an SVG with a <style> element. That CSS can use a perfers-color-sceme media query, and as a result, a favicon that supports...

iOS 13 Broke the Classic Pure CSS Parallax Technique

27.11.2019
I know. You hate parallax. You know what we should hate more? When things that used to work on the web stop working without any clear warning or idea why. Way back in 2014, Keith Clark blogged an exceptionally clever CSS trick where you essentially use a CSS transform to scale an element down...

The Thought Process Behind a Flexbox Layout

27.11.2019
I just need to put two boxes side-by-side and I hear flexbox is good at stuff like that. Just adding display: flex; to the parent element lays out the children in a row. Well, that's cool. I guess I could have floated them, but this is easier. They should probably take up the full space they have...

Oh Hey, Padding Percentage is Based on the Parent Element’s Width

13.11.2019
I learned something about percentage-based (%) padding today that I had totally wrong in my head! I always thought that percentage padding was based on the element itself. So if an element is 1,000 pixels wide with padding-top: 50%, that padding is 500 pixels. It's weird having top padding based...

Two-Value Display Syntax (and Sometimes Three)

8.11.2019
You know the single-value syntax: .thing { display: block; }. The value "block" being a single value. There are lots of single values for display. For example, inline-flex, which is like flex in that it becomse a flex container, but behaves like an inline-level element rather than a block-level...

Some Things You Oughta Know When Working with Viewport Units

6.11.2019
David Chanin has a quickie article summarizing a problem with setting an element's height to 100vh in mobile browsers and then also positioning something on the bottom of that. Summarized in this graphic: The trouble is that Chrome isn't taking the address bar (browser chrome) into account when...

Float Element in the Middle of a Paragraph

4.11.2019
Say you want to have an image (or any other element) visually float left into a paragraph of text. But like... in the middle of the paragraph, not right at the top. It's doable, but it's certainly in the realm of CSS trickery! One thing you can do is slap the image right in the middle of...

The Current State of Styling Selects in 2019

28.10.2019
Best I could tell from the last time I compiled the most wished-for features of CSS, styling form controls was a major ask. Top 5, I'd say. And of the native form elements that people want to style, Greg Whitworth has some data that the <select> element is more requested than any other...

Animated Position of Focus Ring

27.10.2019
Maurice Mahan created FocusOverlay, a "library for creating overlays on focused elements." That description is a little confusing at you don't need a library to create focus styles. What the library actually does is animate the focus rings as focus moves from one element to another. It's based...

Is China’s New Fascination With Blockchain Really Good for Bitcoin?

27.10.2019
Blockchain development has kind of become an element of the party line in the world’s largest officially communist state. The General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping, recently told a Politburo meeting that the People’s Republic has to gain an edge in the emerging...

The `hidden` Attribute is Visibly Weak

16.10.2019
There is an HTML attribute that does exactly what you think it should do: <div>I'm visible</div> <div hidden>I'm hidden</div> It even has great browser support. Is it useful? Uhm. Maybe. Not really. Adam Laki likes the semantics of it: If we use the hidden...

Weaving One Element Over and Under Another Element

14.10.2019
In this post, we’re going to use CSS superpowers to create a visual effect where two elements overlap and weave together. The epiphany for this design came during a short burst of spiritual inquisitiveness where I ended up at The Bible Project’s website. They make really cool animations, and...

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...
