Expanding Text Areas Made Elegant. An expanding text area is a multi-line text input field that expands in height to fit its contents. This UI element is commonly found in both desktop and mobile applications, such as the SMS composition field on the iPhone. Examples can also be found on the web, including on Facebook, where it’s used extensively. It’s a good choice wherever you don’t know how much text the user will write and you want to keep the layout compact; as such, it’s especially useful on interfaces targeted at smartphones. Issue № 338 Despite the ubiquity of this control, there’s no way to create it using only HTML and CSS. While normal block-level elements (like a div, for example) expand to fit their content, the humble textarea does not, even if you style it as display: block.

Since this is the only way to accept multi-line user input (other than using contenteditable, a whole world of pain I’m not going to dive into today), a little JavaScript is needed to make it resize as desired. Whoa there! Now, the CSS. Improve Your CSS Kung-Fu: Chris Coyier's Best Practices for HTML and CSS. We Recommend These Resources Lots of us 'know' CSS but don't use it to the max. More perniciously, despite demos like the famous zen garden, it's easy to forget about some of the more powerful -- but more abstract -- applications of CSS. Keeping in mind that old programming habits die hard, Chris Coyier put online some very slick and very useful slides from his talk at the Future of Web Apps conference in London earlier this month. The challenge? Really, really don't write more code than you need to.

Don't use ID's in your CSS whatsoever for one small project. That might be tricky, unless you're already a CSS master. Click through the slides and exercise your CSS-jitsu: Google+ launches ‘Ripples’ visualisation. After what appears to be have been a rapid and widespread take-up of its Google+ social media service, Google has now launched details of its ‘Ripples’ feature. Significantly, news of the release was made by Fernanda Viegas, one of the most prominent names in the field and co-leader, with Martin Wattenberg, of Google’s “Big Picture” data visualization group.

(Update: the Ripples development team also included Jack Hebert). The visualisation plots a network diagram to display how a post spreads as users re-share it on Google+. The direction of the sharing activity is indicated through arrows. A great feature is the timeline device which allows you to watch the post grow organically from its originator and spread over time, with new clusters of users’ sharing activity emerging to demonstrate the speed and popularity of the post.

These groups/bins may be spatial, temporal, or otherwise attribute-based. In this post I’m only talking about spatial (long-lat) and 2-dimensional attribute-based (scatterplot) bins.

Such binnings may be thought of as 2D histograms. This may make more or less sense after what lies beneath. If you’re just after that sweet honey that is my code, bear down on my Github repository for this project — hexbin-js. Rectangular binning The simplest 2D bin is rectangular. The above is a shot from a little example I produced on jsFiddle, while learning Mike Bostock’s fantastic D3 JavaScript library for HTML and SVG data-binding and visualization. Binning can be good for both the users and the creators/developers of static or interactive thematic maps or other visualizations. So anyway, binned representations can be beneficial for both users and creators.

There seems to be a commercial market emerging around the idea of automizing the creation of infographics.

Toronto based start-up vizualize.me [vizualize.me] is currently developing an online application that can automatically translate any online LinkedIn profile into an online infographic. In particular, the new service aims to overcome the issue of reading overly long or highly complex resumes by showing the same information in a more readable and attractive way. The start-up has been coding the online application only since the last 2 months, and is currently still in private beta. First peeks behind the beta service show how this can become particularly useful for those that like to change jobs often, have a high amount of skills or know quite a lot of languages (unfortunately, my current own resume is not that compelling).

The infographics are automatically generated through logging in with LinkedIn credentials.
