CSS Specific for Internet Explorer As much as we don't like to deal with the IE bugs, we still have to face it because your boss and visitors are still using Explorer. It gets frustrating when different versions of Explorer displays web pages differently due to the inconsistent rendering engine. We typically use IE conditional comments to fix the IE issues. But there are more ways than the conditional comments... View Demo IE Specific #1 IE Conditional Comments IE conditional comment is probably the most commonly used to fix the IE bugs for specific versions (IE6, IE7, IE8). <! <! #2 CSS Rules Specific to Explorer (IE CSS hacks) Another option is to declare CSS rules that can only be read by Explorer. IE8 or below: to write CSS rules specificially to IE8 or below, add a backslash and 9 (\9) at the end before the semicolon. #3 Conditional HTML Class The third option, which was founded by Paul Irish, is to add an CSS class with the IE version to the HTML tag by using IE conditional comments.

What No One Told You About Z-Index — Philip Walton The problem with z-index is that very few people understand how it really works. It’s not complicated, but it if you’ve never taken the time to read its specification, there are almost certainly crucial aspects that you’re completely unaware of. Don’t believe me? The Problem In the following HTML you have three <div> elements, and each <div> contains a single <span> element. Here’s what the HTML and basic CSS look like. <div><span class="red">Red</span></div><div><span class="green">Green</span></div><div><span class="blue">Blue</span></div> Here’s the challenge: try to see if you can make the red <span> element stack behind the blue and green <span> elements without breaking any of the following rules: Do not alter the HTML markup in any way. To see if you can figure it out, click the edit on Codepen link above and play around with it for a bit. Warning: Don’t click on the CSS tab of the example below or it will give away the answer.

Inner Shadows in CSS: Images, Text and Beyond Shadows in CSS are quick and easy, whether you’re slapping on a box-shadow or a text-shadow. But how comfortable are you with inner shadows? Can you pull off an inset box-shadow? Today we’re going to learn some really simple inset shadow techniques that you can pull off with just a few lines of code. Shadow Syntax Before we jump into inset shadows, let’s look at the basic syntax for building the two different types of CSS shadows. Box-Shadow Box-shadows are probably the most common type of CSS shadows. As you can see, listed above in order, the order of values is horizontal offset, vertical offset, blur radius, spread radius and color. The latter two values, blur radius and spread radius are a bit more complicated. As you can see, no blur radius produces a shadow with a hard edge and a high blur radius produces a blurry edge. As you can see, without affecting how blurry the shadow is, the spread of the shadow essentially grows and shrinks the surface area occupied by the shadow.
The CSS Gallery List - Submission Made Easy Terminology, Syntax, & Introduction - A Beginners Guide to HTML & CSS Before beginning our journey to learn HTML and CSS it is important to understand the differences between the two languages, their syntax, and some common terminology. As an overview, HTML is a hyper text markup language created to give content structure and meaning. CSS, also known as cascading style sheets, is a presentation language created to give content style and appearance. To put this into laymen terms, HTML determines the structure and meaning of content on a web page while CSS determines the style and appearance of this content. The two languages are independent of one another. CSS should not reside within an HTML document and vice versa. Taking this concept a bit further, the HTML p element is used to display a paragraph of text on a web page. Common HTML Terms When getting started with HTML you are likely to hear new, and often strange, terms. Elements Elements are designators that define objects within a page, including structure and content. Tags <a>... Attributes <! Selectors Reset

Dynamic Drive CSS Library- CSS Image Gallery CSS Image Gallery Author: Dynamic Drive This is a purely CSS based image gallery that displays larger versions of thumbnail images dynamically when the mouse hovers over them. A rich HTML caption can be added to the enlarged image, and every aspect of the Image Gallery exists as plain HTML on the page. The idea is to use CSS's ":hover" pseudo class to cause an element to react onMouseover. Demo: Note: Here the enlarged images are set to "overlay" any content that it may come in contact with.
