CSS-Tricks Screencasts

You are probably pretty aware of why using version control is a good thing. In case you aren’t, I quickly go through that in this video. Then we get into the most basic thing we can possibly do: put a …

We spend an entire hour looking at a Photoshop design and writing HTML5 markup that describes what we see. We try and be as semantic as we can and discuss the challenges of that as they come up. We don't write any actual CSS, but we discuss CSS as we go, because markup choices and where we do/don't need classes/ID's are directly related to that. …

HTML5 has a bunch of form-specific features that all make forms on the web better. Browser support for the features is all over the map, but many of the features can be thought of as progressive enhancement, so if it works, great, the form is better, if not, whatever. In this screencast we look at all the new types, attributes, and elements and finish up looking at real world forms and how they could be better if they used these …

Putting a border around the inside of the browser window is such a simple little idea and can be a nice design effect. But how do we do it so that the borders don't scroll away as the page scrolls? And what about IE? And what about mobile devices? We look at a bunch of techniques for doing the body border, but they journey and technologies we look at on the way there are the interesting part. Links from the …

Animations, like transitions, can alter page elements over time. Animations are more powerful and more complex in many ways. You need to declare an animation with a special syntax before you can use it, which allows you to specify values for multiple properties at different percentages of the animations completion ("keyframes"). Then when you do use it, there are lots of values you can set as to how you want it to behave. We'll cover all that as we build …

HTML5 has an incredibly simple method for storing persisting data called localStorage. Natively, you just call a method with key/value pair and that is saved (pretty much) forever. Knowing the key, you can retrieve it at any time. This can be used with "progressive enhancement" in mind, doing things to enhance experiences but not be required. In this screencast we'll look at how to save the data on a form (before submission) so in case the browser window closed …

Pseudo elements are visible elements on a web page that aren't "in the DOM" or created from HTML, but are instead inserted directly from CSS. This allows you to do lots of neat design-y things without cluttering the markup. Pseudo elements are CSS 2, so browser support for them is pretty good! Links from Video: Nicolas Gallagher: interview, multiple backgrounds, icons Meet the Pseudo Class Selectors Matt Hamm: page curl CSS Triangle …
