Home / CSS3 Previews / Multiple Backgrounds with CSS3 CSS3 allows web designers to specify multiple background images for box elements, using nothing more than a simple comma-separated list. Browser support for multiple backgrounds is relatively widespread with Mozilla Firefox (3.6+), Safari/Chrome (1.0/1.3+), Opera (10.5+) and even Internet Explorer (9.0+) all implementing the feature. Here’s a basic example: This box has two background images, the first a sheep (aligned to the bottom and center) and the second a grass and sky background (aligned to the top-left corner). Here’s the code for this:

Users now use mobile phones, small notebooks, tablet devices such as iPad or Playbook to access the web. So the traditional fixed width design doesn't work any more.
Home / CSS3 Previews / Box-shadow, one of CSS3′s best new features The box-shadow property allows designers to easily implement multiple drop shadows (outer or inner) on box elements, specifying values for color, size, blur and offset. Browser support is growing of late with Mozilla (Firefox), Webkit (Safari/Chrome/Konqueror), Opera and the IE9 Platform Preview all offering a decent implementation of the spec, although Mozilla and Webkit still require their respective -moz- and -webkit- prefixes (note Mozilla Firefox 4.0+ no longer requires the -moz- prefix). Here’s a basic example: Firefox, Safari/Chrome, Opera and IE9 users should see a grey fading shadow under this box.

Load More Sidebar Content When There Is Room
Published by Chris Coyier One classic layout conundrum is how much stuff to put in a sidebar. Ideally the height of the main content area and the sidebar are about the same, to avoid either area having a large blank area which can be strange looking and a waste of good web real estate. Go light on sidebar content and short content pages may be just about right but long content pages have a lot of unused sidebar space.

Créer des coins arrondis en CSS et sans images
Vouloir créer facilement des blocs aux coins arrondis est un rêve de webdesigner aussi vieux que le Web lui-même. Traditionnellement, depuis les débuts du web, on réalisait ceci à l'aide de plusieurs éléments <div> imbriqués (ou autres), ou à l'aide d'un tableau à 9 cellules : la cellule du centre accueillait le contenu, tandis que les autres recevaient des images ou des images de fond étirables afin de dessiner les quatre coins et les bordures. Cette technique est généralement lourde et peu accessible. C'est pourquoi depuis quelques années et l'avènement des feuilles de style, de multiples techniques ont vu le jour pour proposer des solutions que l'on peut regrouper selon les critères suivants : avec ou sans images, avec ou sans JavaScript, avec ou sans ajout de markup (éléments dans le code HTML), fluide ou non fluide (blocs étirables en hauteur et/ou en largeur selon le contenu), toutes plus ou moins accessibles.DD_roundies: Code-only rounded HTML boxes

The following post is an older method using images. There is certain anchor state in CSS that I don’t see used very often — actually, it’s something I haven’t really used myself, but something which I now realize can be very useful. I’m talking about the “active” anchor state.
