CSS3 Patterns Gallery Browser support The patterns themselves should work on Firefox 3.6+, Chrome, Safari 5.1, Opera 11.10+ and IE10+. However, implementation limitations might cause some of them to not be displayed correctly even on those browsers (for example at the time of writing, Gecko is quite buggy with radial gradients). Also, this gallery won’t work in Firefox 3.6 and IE10, even though they support gradients, due to a JavaScript limitation. Submission guidelines If you have a new pattern to submit, please send a pull request. Does it present a new technique? Simple Clearing of Floats Without wanting to stray too deeply in Simon and Stuart’s technical CSS territory, I thought this was worth noting. For all it’s many advantages, sometimes it’s the little things that CSS layout makes difficult that really get to you. Clearing floated elements is a good example. The Problem: One of the simplest and most common layout structures involves the placing of a small, set-width DIV — perhaps navigation, a quote or a bio — within a larger wrapping DIV that contains the remaining content. We can set the width of ‘#inner’ (let’s say ‘width:20%’), but, being a block level element, the main content will always wrap beneath, unless we float it (either left or right). If ‘#inner’ is shorter than #outer, all is well. However, if ‘#inner’ grows taller than it’s wrapping parent, it breaks through the bottom edge of ‘#outer’. As we can’t always control the amount of content in these DIVs, it certainly presents a problem. The Solutions: ‘Rubbish’ I thought to myself. Nice work, Paul.

Css and Web Design Community News Microsoft Conditional Comments What's A Conditional Comment? Why would you want to do that? Well we all know and love IE, and know that it does have its unique way of doing things, because of this it can be incredibly useful to be able to direct code only at a specific version of IE, e.g. their Box Model, which might only require different CSS values for version 5.5 and below, or applying a <script> to get the :hover pseudo element to work for version IE6 and below.. anyway the reasons are endless, and though you may never need to use it can be a useful way to do things that require differences in the HTML too. Did you know that are two different types of Conditional Comment? I did but I never fully bothered to understand the differences between the 2 until I had to debug some code recently. Typical eh.. not bothered until I have to Microsofts terminology. Interesting when read like that no ;) Anyway read like that it makes the 2 comment types easier to understand for me anyway The Different Types with examples 1. example:

CSS Text Wrapper Complexspiral Redux The page you are viewing right now exists to show off what can be accomplished with pure CSS1, and that's all. This variant on complexspiral doesn't even use any CSS2 to accomplish its magic. Remember: as you look this demo over, there is no Javascript here, nor are any PNGs being used, nor do I employ any proprietary extensions to CSS or any other language. It's all done using straight W3C-recommended markup and styling, all validated, plus a total of four (4) images. Unfortunately, not every browser supports all of CSS1, and only those browsers which fully and completely support CSS1 will get this right. Despite some claims to the contrary, IE6/Win's rendering of this page is not correct, as it (as well as some other browsers) doesn't correctly support background-attachment: fixed for any element other than the body. Hands-on: Things to Examine Before you start, make sure you're viewing this page in one of the browsers mentioned above. Glad you asked. And that's how it works. Jump to
