Link Underlines That Animate Into Block Backgrounds
23.9.2019
It's a cool little effect. The default link style has an underline (which is a good idea) and then on :hover you see the underline essentially thicken up turning into almost what it would have looked liked if you used a background-color on the link instead.
Here's an example of the effect on...
Ghost Buttons with Directional Awareness in CSS
13.9.2019
It would surprise me if you'd never come across a ghost button 👻. You know the ones: they have a transparent background that fills with a solid color on hover. Smashing Magazine has a whole article going into the idea. In this article, we’re going to build a ghost button, but that will...

Staggered CSS Transitions
14.8.2019
Let's say you wanted to move an element on :hover for a fun visual effect.
@media (hover: hover) {
.list--item {
transition: 0.1s;
transform: translateY(10px);
}
.list--item:hover,
.list--item:focus {
transform: translateY(0);
}
}
Cool cool. But what if you had several list...

Don’t comma-separate :focus-within if you need deep browser support
24.7.2019
I really like :focus-within. It's a super useful selector that allows you to essentially select a parent element when any of its children are in focus.
Say you wanted to reveal some extra stuff when a <div> is hovered...
div:hover {
.extra-stuff {
/* reveal it */
}
}
That's...

Menus with “Dynamic Hit Areas”
3.7.2019
Flyout menus! The second you need to implement a menu that uses a hover event to display more menu items, you're in tricky territory. For one, they should work with clicks and taps, too. Without that, you've broken the menu for anyone without a mouse. That doesn't mean you can't also use :hover....

CSS :focus-within
25.6.2019
Using :hover to display additional information or elements is a very useful technique but a big drawback to using the hover pseudo-class is that they are usually not accessibility-friendly. Not everyone uses a mouse and some users have visual impairments, so they rely on screen readers or...

Creating CSS-based animations and transitions can be a challenge. They can be complex and time-consuming. Need to move forward with a project with little time to tweak the perfect transition?

Change Color of SVG on Hover
13.5.2019
There are a lot of different ways to use SVG. Depending on which way, the tactic for recoloring that SVG in different states or conditions — :hover, :active, :focus, class name change, etc. — is different.
Let's look at the ways.

The Many Ways to Change an SVG Fill on Hover (and When to Use Them)
31.1.2019
SVG is a great format for icons. Vector formats look crisp and razor sharp, no matter the size or device — and we get tons of design control when using them inline.
SVG also gives us another powerful feature: the ability to manipulate their properties with CSS. As a result, we can make quick...

We're in the future now so, of course, we're working on ways to speed up the web with fancy new tactics above and beyond the typical make-pages-slimmer-and-cached-like-crazy techniques.

Before visitors click on a link, they hover over that link. Between...
