Declan Chidlow explores new HTML and CSS features that can make your design system more flexible, adaptable, and maintainable.

I thought about dropping an addendum into my last post to say just how overwhelmed I am, in the best possible way, by the way all of you in the front-end community have shown up to show support, both for me and for CSS-Tricks. I started to do that but then felt a new post...

Overviews of the very many snippets of code that were once commonly included on websites to address specific cases with certain technologies, browsers, operating systems, or extensions. Fragments dating back to the days of Internet Explorer and Netscape, to more modern bits that are nonetheless obsolete.

Something I knew is that in browser that support CSS nesting you can nest @media queries inside of other CSS declarations. What I only fully grasped a few days ago is how well this works for progressive enhancement.

In this post I show how you can build an accessible weather forecast with HTML and CSS.

“...and could just as easily make differently.”

While working on Kelp, my UI library for people who love HTML, I learned something new-to-me: Setting overflow: hidden prevents the position: sticky property from working. It doesn’t even matter if the hidden overflow is in the scroll direction. Setting overflow-x: hidden to prevent horizontal scroll prevents sticky headers from sticky with vertical scrolling. I also learned that overflow: clip solves this very problem! The overflow: clip property produces the same visual effect as overflow: hidden.

In this post I show a font weight bug in Safari and how one line of CSS can fix it.
