Remove Search Box Buttons in WebKit
I love all of the (relatively) new HTML5 INPUT element types. If you aren't using them...what the hell is wrong with you?! please do. New types like search and email make these form fields infinitely more usable on mobile. What I don't necessarily like is how WebKit adds the circular x button to the right of search boxes; they add a design element that was clashing with the site look and feel. After a quick search, I figured out how to remove it:
input[type='search']::-webkit-search-decoration,
input[type='search']::-webkit-search-cancel-button,
input[type='search']::-webkit-search-results-button,
input[type='search']::-webkit-search-results-decoration {
display: none;
}
No more unwanted icon in my design. Big thanks to Chris Coyier for this tip!

![Serving Fonts from CDN]()
For maximum performance, we all know we must put our assets on CDN (another domain). Along with those assets are custom web fonts. Unfortunately custom web fonts via CDN (or any cross-domain font request) don't work in Firefox or Internet Explorer (correctly so, by spec) though...
![Create a Trailing Mouse Cursor Effect Using MooTools]()
Remember the old days of DHTML and effects that were an achievement to create but had absolutely no value? Well, a trailing mouse cursor script is sorta like that. And I'm sorta the type of guy that creates effects just because I can.
![Flexbox Equal Height Columns]()
Flexbox was supposed to be the pot of gold at the long, long rainbow of insufficient CSS layout techniques. And the only disappointment I've experienced with flexbox is that browser vendors took so long to implement it. I can't also claim to have pushed flexbox's limits, but...
I have been searching this for ages. But please note that in some cases the default style does help user.
