CSS3 Transitions And Transforms From Scratch

CSS3 Transitions And Transforms From Scratch
There are some amazing examples of CSS transforms and transitions, and whilst you may be blown away by them, there's a good chance that you're also overwhelmed and a bit intimidated! This tutorial will take you back to the very basics. We're going to create some fundamental CSS3 transitional movements, step by step. A Quick Note on Browser Support: Support across browsers is already pretty reasonable. The Axes and Grid To help understand the movement easily we'll be working on an axis grid (which you'll probably recognize from basic math). The only (crucial) difference is that on our axis the -y value is above the x axis, whilst it would ordinarily be below it. Note: I'm going to assume that you're already familiar with HTML and CSS file structure. 1: Horizontal Movement The first movement we'll demonstrate is "horizontal"; we'll animate the object to move to the right and to the left. Moving to the Right Open your favorite Text Editor and enter the following html markup, then save the file.

CSS3 Hover Effects Hello guys, this time I will show you other five examples of hover effects using different CSS properties compared to the old tutorial posted on Codrops. In summary, we seek the same method but we will act especially using the border property, as we shall see later that allows us to create very particular effects. Please note that this will only work properly in modern browsers that support the CSS3 properties in use. HTML Markup This simple structure allows us to make these effects. <div class="view"><img src="images/1.jpg" /><div class="mask"></div><div class="content"><a href="#" class="info" title="Full Image">Full Image</a></div></div> Here you will set the basic properties of our tutorial. 1 Example Add the special class effect to the element with the class view for this effect. <div class="view effect"><img src="images/1.jpg" /><div class="mask"></div><div class="content"><a href="#" class="info" title="Full Image">Full Image</a></div></div> Go to View the Example 2 Example 3 Example

An Overview of Defensive Design All over the Web, at any given moment, something is going wrong. It's not an issue we take lightly, yet it still occurs! No I'm not here to talk about our over dependence upon third party tools or IE6 (specifically), I'm here to talk about site glitches, and how to avoid them. Occasionally these bugs are small visible glitches, occurring as a result of mismanaged code; or in many other cases, Internet Explorer. Introduction In recent years, we have placed a great deal of effort as an industry, following the topics that get lots of attention. What is Defensive Design? Combatting these evil forces, be they bugs or reoccurring errors, is an on-going battle that cannot be won overnight. Essentially, our goal is to support our sites in times of trouble, purge those errors relating to lost files or the unavailability of resources, ensure that our layouts do what they're supposed to, help the user complete actions, and avoid throwing visitors into a bottleneck of confusion. Why does this Matter?

The gallery features artwork from rambocre, pickupjojo and codenamebender Maximize the Use of Hover Usually, we create hover effects by changing: font color, font styles, border styles, background, and etc. But there are a lot more that we can do with hover. We can use hover to beautify design, minimize clutter, and display additional information. 1. I use hover to beautify the layout of IconDock. 2. QBN makes its layout look cleaner by hiding the extra buttons on default. Gucci puts focus on their product images by hiding the variations. 3. Coda combines CSS and Javascript to create a beautiful tooltip. On Best Web Gallery, I use jQuery to display a larger image of the screencap. Tutorials Image Hover (see demo) The following CSS tutorial imitates the hover effect as seen on the Gucci and QBN site. Animated Hover (see demo) The following demo use jQuery to animate the <em> text when you hover the link, as seen on the Coda site. jQuery Tooltip Head over to CSS Globe to see the jQuery tooltip that I use for Best Web Gallery.

Get Into LESS: the Programmable Stylesheet Language I don't like CSS. Plain and simple. It makes the World go round on the web, yet the language is restrictive and hard to manage. It's time to spruce up the language and make it more helpful by using dynamic CSS with the help of LESS. Let me illustrate my point with an example right away. Instead of using #FF9F94 to get a dark peach color, wouldn't it be easier to store that color value inside a variable and just use that variable? In other words: it would be awfully nice if we could use some programming and logic inside CSS to make it a more powerful tool. What Is LESS? LESS is a superset of CSS. LESS adds much needed dynamic properties to CSS. How To Use LESS There are two ways to use LESS. Using The LESS Javascript File First of all head down to the LESS website and grab the Javascript file. Next, create a file with the .less extension and link it to your page with the code below: Make sure that you link your LESS file before the Javascript file. Compiling The LESS File Variables

Osez HTML5 et CSS3 ! Un site perso en fil rouge Pour étayer cet article, nous allons nous servir d'un fil rouge : mon site personnel Goetter.fr dont l'intégration a été réalisée en plusieurs étapes, et destiné à servir de passerelle entre mes différentes activités. Puisqu'il s'agit d'un site sans grande portée médiatique ni contraintes, j'ai pu en profiter pour tester HTML5 et moult règles CSS2 et CSS3 (border-radius, rgba, inline-block, transitions, rotations, @font-face, text-shadow, opacity, :before/:after et autres joyeusetés...). Voyons en détails le cheminement et les écueils de cette intégration... Les Grands Anciens Rappel historique Avant de nous lancer dans le vif du sujet, rappelons certains points essentiels. Fort heureusement, cela n'empêche pas les navigateurs récents de se lancer dans l'aventure en proposant des implémentations de propriétés considérées comme "sûres". A l'heure actuelle, quasiment tous les navigateurs modernes reconnaissent les propriétés CSS3 ou HTML5 employées dans cet article.
