    Presentable Accessibility Elements with CSS

    Mozilla is full of brilliant developers who the mass developer community doesn't know well enough.  Toward the top of that list is Craig Cook, a front-end web developer who works on Mozilla.org and other popular Mozilla sites.  One technique he recently brought to my attention is...

    CSS Preprocessors and Parent Selectors

    Working on web sites and web apps that require RTL support is hard because ensuring correct display in RTL is made more difficult by the fact that we either don't have the CSS properties and values to do so or that the existing support isn't widely...

    Enforce Widths on Empty Block Elements

    One of the side effects within CSS that I find somewhat strange is that even if you give an element an explicit width, the element width is not respected if the element is empty or the elements within it are absolutely or fixed position.  Of course...

    YUI Compressor Media Query Issues

    I've been coding out the redesign for a responsive website and it's been a lot of fun...and a lot of media queries. A few of the media queries have multiple conditions so I have `and` sprinkled into them quite a bit. Everything was going...

    Starting to Write CSS

    Don't you feel that CSS is not the same anymore? Last few years became a hot topic and many smart people talked about it. CSS is not that little thing which front-end developer should do to make the page looks pretty. It's far more then that.
