I consider #7 evil. LOL
I hate it when I cannot steal text from the internet. ;)
Guys press F12 and copy it from the inspector. Work smart, not hard!
I hate that too when it's used in the wrong place. However, I think there's a time and place for it. For example, you might wanna use it on a display copy where allowing text selection might interfere with other interactive elements.
a useful example of the user-select is user-select: all; - use it to auto select a block which is a target for copy or drag
eg. here is [URL] click and select the whole URL and copy (if it wasn’t useful to follow it)
I don't steal text because its illegal btw I hate it too
Lol! Me too!
Some amazing features here which I had no idea existed ... CSS is insanely vast as a topic. BTW am I the only one who finds so called "smooth scrolling" incredibly annoying on websites? That's one feature which in all likelihood I'll never ever use.
#8 is quite interesting. A lot is going on that one would no longer need to do with JS after seeing this trick. Even the text of the validation label changes when needed, as seen below. 😎🤩
input#value:in-range + label#value-status::after {content: 'okay.';
}
Please consider adding caniuse references or similar. CSS is amazing but almost every ‘awesome tips’ or ‘little known’ features article I see includes stuff that is not fully supported by all browsers. Even modern, evergreens.
Excuse me but what are caniuse references?
Entries on caniuse.com/ or similar sites which detail the support for particular CSS rules, web APIs etc.
Same! I don't like it either, what's more - I don't even see the point of it ... as a user I think, "my scroll wheel and mouse and its native/natural behavior are mine, don't mess with it!" It irks me greatly when a website is doing that :-)
Thank you! This has become my most successful post, and I would like to thank everyone for reacting and commenting!
Yeah man I also don't fully understand it! But there's a certain kind of "scrolling behavior" that I witnessed on some websites, and it's super annoying, although the site creators probably thought it was cool. Maybe that's smooth scrolling, or maybe it isn't :-)
But the example given here of smooth scrolling falls more or less in that same category, I don't like it either.
Yea, I've done that too, but it's a pain.
That fits my definition of evil; making you do more work than is necessary. lol
Thanks!!
Great tips!
Nice!
Well the dev adding this feature probably thinks it's "professional" :-)
Nice post, thanks for sharing!!
