Can JavaScript Detect the Browser’s Zoom Level?
21.4.2020
No, not really.
My first guess was that this was intentionally not exposed in browsers because browsers intentionally don’t want us fighting it — or making well-intentioned but bad-outcome decisions based on that info. But I don’t see any evidence of that.

The Contrast Triangle
21.4.2020
Chip Cullen:
Let’s say you’re building a site, and you’re working with a designer. They come to you with some solid designs, and you’re ready to go. You’re also a conscientious front end developer and you like to make sure the sites you build are accessible. The designs you’re working from have...
Creating Playful Effects With CSS Text Shadows
20.4.2020
Let’s have a look at how we can use the CSS text-shadow property to create truly 3D-looking text. You might think of text-shadow as being able to apply blurred, gradient-looking color behind text, and you would be right! But just like box-shadow, you can control how blurred the shadow is, including...

How (some) good corporate engineering blogs are written
18.4.2020
Interesting research from Dan Luu:
… it’s pretty common for my personal blog to get more traffic than the entire corp eng blog for a company with a nine to ten figure valuation and it’s not uncommon for my blog to get an order of magnitude more traffic.
I think this is...

Front-End Challenges
17.4.2020
My favorite way to level up as a front-end developer is to do the work. Literally just build websites. If you can do it for money, great, you should. If the websites you make can help yourself or anyone else you care about, then that’s also great. In lieu of that, you can also make things...
Pseudo-Randomly Adding Illustrations with CSS
17.4.2020
Between each post of Eric Meyer’s blog there’s this rather lovely illustration that can randomly be one of these five options:
Eric made each illustration into a separate background image then switches out that image with the nth-of-type CSS property, like this:
.entry:nth-of-type(2n+1)::before...
Better Form Inputs for Better Mobile User Experiences
17.4.2020
Here’s one simple, practical way to make apps perform better on mobile devices: always configure HTML input fields with the correct type, inputmode, and autocomplete attributes. While these three attributes are often discussed in isolation, they make the most sense in the context of mobile user...
Thank You, Christopher Schmitt
16.4.2020
It’s incredibly sad that Christopher Schmitt passed away last week¹. I keep thinking about how Christopher was one of the best dudes I knew. Just incredibly kind and thoughtful all the way through. I know everyone says that about people after they pass, but I really mean it here. I’m...
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,...
Jetpack Instant Search!
16.4.2020
Jetpack has had a search feature for a while. Flip it on, and it replaces your built-in WordPress search (which is functional, but not particularly good) with an Elasticsearch-powered solution that is faster and has better results. I’ve been using that for quite a while here on CSS-Tricks...
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...
Create a Responsive CSS Motion Path? Sure We Can!
15.4.2020
There was a discussion recently on the Animation at Work Slack: how could you make a CSS motion path responsive? What techniques would be work? This got me thinking.
A CSS motion path allows us to animate elements along custom user-defined paths. Those paths follow the same structure as SVG paths....

How the Vue Composition API Replaces Vue Mixins
15.4.2020
Looking to share code between your Vue components? If you’re familiar with Vue 2, you’ve probably used a mixin for this purpose. But the new Composition API, which is available now as a plugin for Vue 2 and an upcoming feature of Vue 3, provides a much better solution.

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...
No-Class CSS Frameworks
13.4.2020
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...
Styling in the Shadow DOM With CSS Shadow Parts
13.4.2020
Safari 13.1 just shipped support for CSS Shadow Parts. That means the ::part() selector is now supported in Chrome, Edge, Opera, Safari, and Firefox. We’ll see why it’s useful, but first a recap on shadow DOM encapsulation…

When debugging, your attitude matters
12.4.2020
Julia Evans:
I was debugging some CSS last week, and I think that post is missing something important: your attitude.
Now – I’m not a very good CSS developer yet. I’ve never written CSS professionally and I don’t understand a lot of basic CSS concepts (I think I finally understood for the first...
