CSS Pseudo Commas
30.8.2021
A bonafide CSS trick if there ever was one! @ShadowShahriar created a CodePen demo that uses pseudo-elements to place commas between list items that are displayed inline, and the result is a natural-looking complete sentence with proper punctuation.

14.7.2021
Most of us grumble when running across a frustrating UX experience online (like not being able to complete a transaction because of a misplaced button). We might pen a whiny tweet. Jason Grigsby is like I’m going to write 2,000 …

CSS Pie Timer Re-Revisited
12.5.2021
Kitty reflected on an ancient blog post here on CSS-Tricks on how to make an animated pie timer. The old technique is still clever. The new technique is equally clever and much easier. I particularly like the steps() animation function…

Let’s Create an Image Pop-Out Effect With SVG Clip Path
2.4.2021
Few weeks ago, I stumbled upon this cool pop-out effect by Mikael Ainalem. It showcases the clip-path: path() in CSS, which just got proper support in most modern browsers. I wanted to dig into it myself to get …

How to Animate the Details Element
2.3.2021
Here’s a nice simple demo from Moritz Gießmann on animating the triangle of a <details> element, which is the affordance that tells people this thing can be opened. Animating it, then is another kind of affordance that tells people …

Let’s look at how to get the user’s mouse position and map it into CSS custom properties: --positionX and --positionY.

A table with both a sticky header and a sticky first column
10.2.2021
We’ve covered that individual <table> cells, <th> and <td> can be position: sticky. It’s pretty easy to make the header of a table stick to the top of the screen while scrolling through a bunch or rows (like this …

Animating a CSS Gradient Border
8.2.2021
This little trick for gradient borders is super useful:
.border-gradient {
border: 5px solid;
border-image-slice: 1;
border-image-source: linear-gradient(to left, #743ad5, #d53a9d);
}
Here’s some basic demos from our article on the subject. Sephanie Eckles was sharing around the idea...
Styling Web Components

Nolan Lawson has a little emoji-picker-element that is awfully handy and incredibly easy to use. But considering you’d probably be using it within your own app, it should be style-able so it can incorporated nicely anywhere. How to allow …

Super Tiny Icons
30.11.2020
A bunch of SVG icons (of popular things) all under 1KB. SVG is awesome for golfing.
I was going to add a CodePen logo but there is already one in there at 375 Bytes. I’ve got one at 208 Bytes, based on a logo update David DeSandro did for us a couple years back.

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...
ARIA in CSS

Jeremey reacting to Sara’s tweet, about using [aria-*] selectors instead of classes when the styling you are applying is directly related to the ARIA state.
… this is my preferred way of hooking up CSS and JavaScript interactions. Here’s [an] old CodePen where you can see...
Additive Animations in CSS
3.11.2020
Daniel C. Wilson explains how with CSS @keyframe animations, when multiple of them are applied to an element, they do both work. But if any properties are repeated, only the last one works. They override each other. I’ve seen this limitation overcome by applying keyframes to nested elements...
Full Bleed
15.10.2020
We’ve covered techniques before for when you want a full-width element within a constrained-width column, like an edge-to-edge image within a narrower column of text. There are loads of techniques.
Perhaps my favorite is this little utility class:
.full-width {
width: 100vw;

How to Get Handwriting Animation With Irregular SVG Strokes
11.9.2020
I wanted to do a handwriting animation for calligraphy fonts — the kind where the words animate like they are being written by an invisible pen. Because calligraphy fonts have uneven stroke widths (they actually aren’t even strokes in terms of SVG), it was near impossible to do this sort of thing...
Pausing a GIF with details/summary
22.7.2020
Steve Faulkner has a clever idea here. You can show an (animated) GIF and overlay a pause/play button on top of it — which is really a <details>/<summary> element. When toggled, a (non-animated) JPG inside covers the GIF, effectively “pausing” it.
