SpritePad - Create and edit css sprites CSS Sprites: What They Are, Why They're Cool, and How To Use Them By Chris Coyier On This article has been revised and re-written several times since its very first publication in 2007, to keep the information current. The most recent revision was done by Flip Stewart in January 2015. #What are CSS Sprites? Spoiler alert: they aren't fairies that write your stylesheets for you. To summarize: the term "sprites" comes from a technique in computer graphics, most often used in video games. CSS Sprites is pretty much the exact same theory: get the image once, and shift it around and only display parts of it. #Why use CSS Sprites? It may seem counterintuitive to cram smaller images into a larger image. Let's look at some numbers on an actual example: That adds up to a total of 14.38KB to load the three images. While the total image size (sometimes) goes up with sprites, several images are loaded with a single HTTP request. Thus, sprites are important for the same reasons that minifying and concatinating CSS and JavaScript are important. $ npm install sprity -g
How to make a carousel using only HTML and CSS (no JavaScript required!) Recently, I’ve been working on a site that uses a CMS that’s a bit limiting. I can add my own HTML and CSS to the site, but JavaScript is off-limits. The designs I’m working from included a carousel. I had some ideas of how I could make that work using CSS animations and the transform property, but that would leave me with a carousel that scrolled automatically and didn’t allow for user input which wasn’t really what I was looking for. This is the first item Idque Caesaris facere voluntate liceret: sese habere. This is the second item Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus. And finally, the third Quis aute iure reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse. Let’s build one! The structure The structure of our carousel goes something like this: We have a main div.carousel-wrapper that gives our carousel its size. Each of our div.carousel-item elements have some content within them, and two links, a.arrow-prev and a.arrow-next, which we use to cycle between the carousel items. <!
Stop Printing Ugly WordPress Pages With This Easy Fix As a WordPress designer, you fret and worry about how your pages and your posts look – on the screen. That’s what it’s all about, right? You look at that new travel-story website you just finished, and it looks great in all the current web browsers. It’s fabulous. A week later, you’re sitting at your computer when the client calls and says, “Hey, our customers are trying to print stuff off that new website you made for us, and everything is a mess – you have to fix that – now!!!” Then you (for the first time ever) choose your browser’s print command, your printer starts whirring and clacking, and by the time you slide over to your printer it’s already printed out three sheets of paper when it should have just been one sheet. Your client is right (aren’t they always?). Your head spins as you try to figure out what’s wrong and what to do, as the enraged client continues yelling into the phone – her voice getting higher and louder. Do People Actually Print Web Pages? Don’t worry.
Tips for Writing Modular CSS Matt Lambert No matter how much you love CSS, no one enjoys writing or maintaining style sheets that are 2000+ lines of awesomeness. The smart way to approach your CSS is from a modular stand point. Properly organizing your CSS, breaking it into smaller chunks, and naming classes in a generic way are a few places to start. Let’s review some of my top tips for writing modular CSS Use SMACCS There’s a few systems out there for organizing your CSS but the best one I’ve found is SMACCS (Scalable and Modular Architecture for CSS). Base All native HTML selectors, element selectors, descendant/child selectors, and pseudo-classes. Layout Styles specific to the layout of your website or template. Module Reusable classes or components. States Here you add any state change CSS like alerts or form validation styles. Theme This section is optional but if you have any theme specific CSS that doesn’t fit into any of the above sections, it should go here. Less Variables Less Components One Theme to Rule Them All

The Back(side) of the Class, by Stephen Hay Have you ever been taught that “modularizing” CSS via an endless number of “reusable” object-like “classes” is the “proper” way to use CSS on “large-scale websites”, or have you taught others that these are “best practices”? If you answered yes to the above questions, then you, my friend, are going to absolutely hate this session.

Comment centrer verticalement sur tous les navigateurs Ce tutoriel présente des solutions pour centrer verticalement des éléments de tailles variables dans des conteneurs de hauteur fixe ou fluide. Les techniques exposées sont compatibles avec tous les navigateurs actuels, à partir d'Internet Explorer 8 et n'utilisent ni <table>, ni JavaScript. Note : ce tutoriel a été initialement rédigé en mai 2010. Le temps du valign=middle sur nos tableaux de mise en page est bel et bien révolu. Avec CSS2 et l'arrivée de nouvelles valeurs pour la propriété display reconnues par Internet Explorer 8, beaucoup ont vu en table-cell une nouvelle ère pour le centrage vertical. Depuis CSS3, d'autres techniques viennent parfaire les ébauches précédentes : à savoir les translations, les unités de viewport mais aussi et surtout Flexbox. Ce tutoriel vous propose diverses techniques d'alignement vertical en CSS, celles qui ont fait leurs preuves en production, mais sachez que la liste est loin d'être exhaustive. Bonne lecture !

Selectors 5.1 Pattern matching In CSS, pattern matching rules determine which style rules apply to elements in the document tree. These patterns, called selectors, may range from simple element names to rich contextual patterns. If all conditions in the pattern are true for a certain element, the selector matches the element. The case-sensitivity of document language element names in selectors depends on the document language. The following table summarizes CSS 2.1 selector syntax: 5.2 Selector syntax simple selector is either a type selector or universal selector followed immediately by zero or more attribute selectors, ID selectors, or pseudo-classes, in any order. Note: the terminology used here in CSS 2.1 is different from what is used in CSS3. selector is a chain of one or more simple selectors separated by combinators. Combinators are: white space, ">", and "+". The elements of the document tree that match a selector are called subjects of the selector. 5.2.1 Grouping Example(s): is equivalent to: [att]
CSS Filters CSS filter support recently landed within WebKit nightlies. CSS filters provide a method for modifying the rendering of a basic DOM element, image, or video. CSS filters allow for blurring, warping, and modifying the color intensity of elements. There are many CSS filters to choose from: grayscale, blur, sepia, saturate, opacity, brightness, contrast, hue-rotate, and invert. The following CSS snippet will blur an element: Multiple filters are separated by spaces, so we could also add grayscale and opacity values to the blur: Let's get crazy with hue-rotate as well: If static filtering isn't enough for you, CSS filters also animate with @-webkit-keyframes: Expect a performance hit with heavy CSS filter usage; be sure to heavily test your site wherever filtering is used. Note: I've yet to successfully filter a <video> tag; it's possible that feature isn't in the first implementation.
Pure CSS Slide Up and Slide Down If I can avoid using JavaScript for element animations, I'm incredibly happy and driven to do so. They're more efficient, don't require a JavaScript framework to manage steps, and they're more elegant. One effect that is difficult to nail down with pure CSS is sliding up and down, where the content is hidden when "up" and slides in when "down". The reason it's difficult is because you may not know the content height. The HTML The effect really only requires one element, so we'll stick to that: <div class="slider">Some content here.... Add as much content as you'd like. The CSS Before we get into the trick, let's set the few obvious properties: overflow-y and the CSS animation properties: So now the fun: the trick we'll use to make the height play nice is the max-height property. After some tinkering, I really liked the cubic-bezier transition timing function above, though there may be a more scientific method for the animation. Not Perfect Let me know if you've found a better solution!
