Language Features | Less.js Extend is a Less Pseudo-Class which merges the selector it is put on with ones that match what it references. Released v1.4.0 In the rule set above, the :extend selector will apply the "extending selector" (nav ul) onto the .inline class wherever the .inline class appears. The declaration block will be kept as-is, but without any reference to the extend (because extend isn't css). So the following: Outputs Notice how the nav ul:extend(.inline) selector gets output as nav ul - the extend gets removed before output and the selector block left as-is.

If a ruleset contains multiple selectors, any of them can have the extend keyword. .big-division, .big-bag:extend(.bag), .big-bucket:extend(.bucket) { } nth expression

Dynamic Page / Replacing Content By Chris Coyier On This article is an update to this old article, which had an ugly demo and a variety of techniques in it no longer probably considered good practices. This new demo is much cleaner, up to date, and fuller featured. Because the old article was a bit of a different scope, I'll leave it alone, just refer to this one. Update January 2013: There are better practices now, detailed here. Let's say you wanted to make a website where clicking buttons in the nav would dynamically load some content.

linear-gradient - Créez un dégradé linéaire en CSS La fonction linear-gradient permet de créer un dégradé linéaire. Elle prend 3 valeurs, dont 2 sont obligatoires : direction du dégradé (optionnel) couleur de départ couleur de fin La direction du dégradé par défaut est to bottom dans la nouvelle syntaxe (C’est où le dégradé va !). Dégradé rouge/bleu du haut vers le bas background: linear-gradient( red, blue); Dégradé rouge/bleu de la droite vers la gauche background: linear-gradient( to left, red, blue); background: linear-gradient( right, red, blue); La syntaxe préconisée à l’heure actuelle est la suivante, sachant que le module concernant les dégradés est arrivé en CR (les préfixes devront être enlevés bientôt), et que par conséquent les navigateurs supporteront la dernière déclaration : background: -webkit-linear-gradient( right, red, blue);background: -moz-linear-gradient( right, red, blue);background: -ms-linear-gradient( right, red, blue);background: -o-linear-gradient( right, red, blue);background: linear-gradient( to left, red, blue);

Slide Down Box Menu with jQuery and CSS3 In this tutorial we will create a unique sliding box navigation. The idea is to make a box with the menu item slide out, while a thumbnail pops up.

Les préfixes vendeurs en CSS Afin de permettre le développement progressif et l'implémentation des modules CSS, les éditeurs de navigateurs (vendors) ont la possibilité d'introduire le support de propriétés spécifiques. Cette manière d'opérer est recommandée par le W3C depuis CSS 2.1 et valable pour les versions suivantes. Ces "propriétés propriétaires" doivent être préfixées d'un tiret et d'un code correspondant au moteur les exploitant : -o- pour Opera -moz- pour Gecko (Mozilla) -webkit- pour Webkit (Chrome, Safari, Android...) Le tout doit être suivi du nom de la propriété souhaitée ou anticipée. Ainsi, la fameuse propriété border-radius destinée à arrondir les angles des boîtes sans utiliser d'images ou de techniques alternatives s'est vue introduite par : -moz-border-radius sous Gecko (2.0 à 3.6) -webkit-border-radius sous WebKit Opera 10.5 l'a implémentée directement sans préfixe, puis suite à sa finalisation, l'ont fait également Safari 5.0, Chrome 5.0, Firefox 4.0 et Internet Explorer 9.

CSS Sprites2 - It’s JavaScript Time A sense of movement is often the differentiator between Flash-heavy web sites and standards-based sites. Flash interfaces have always seemed more alive—responding to the user’s interactions in a dynamic way that standards-based web sites haven’t been able to replicate. Lately that’s been changing, of course, with a resurgence in dynamic interface effects, helped along by JavaScript libraries that make it easy—libraries such as Prototype, Scriptaculous, Moo, YUI, MochiKit (and I could go on). It’s high time to revisit the CSS Sprites technique from four years ago, and see if we can’t interject a little bit of movement of our own. The examples below demonstrate inline CSS Sprites2, the technique we’ll be covering in this article: Enter the jQuery#section1 We must note the non-trivial extra kilobytes that the library will add to your initial page loads. As for other JavaScript libraries? Basic HTML and CSS setup#section2 So far so good. Example 1: Basic CSS Sprites setup. The theory#section5
