CSS-Tricks Screencasts

Follow along as we use a few very simple CSS3 transitions to create a "slideup" box effect. Roll over the box with your mouse, and the title of the box slides out of the way and a more descriptive stylized box of information jockeys its way into place. This is supported in modern version of Gecko, WebKit, and Opera browsers. No Internet Explorer support yet, but no fallback is needed, the link works and the information shows as expected. View …

The Drawing Table is in essence a mini one-page jQuery application. It has one primary function, creating a colored design by changing the colors of cells in an HTML table.

In this screencast we walk through the existing code looking at the finished example, the markup, and the JavaScript powering that it - feature by feature.

There is no shortage of documentation on WordPress' famous content-spewing structure, but I still feel like there is more confusion and mystery surrounding "The Loop" than there should be. In this screencast I try and explain what it is, how it works, related parts, and then demonstrate some alterations and various tricks. Things like running multiple loops, writing your own custom queries, and handling pagination with your own custom loops. Links from Video: Codex: query_posts …

TextMate is a mac-only code editor. Sorry to all the PC users this time around. If you've been watching these screencasts for a long time, you know I used to mostly use Coda. Since I've been working a lot more locally, I've been using much more TextMate, which I've always considered to be superior as a code editor but just wasn't as convenient as Coda being all-in-one. I'll cover some things I find cool and useful in TextMate, like vertical …

If you are like me, you are both guilty of seriously unorganized Photoshop documents and appreciate well organized ones. The disorganization isn’t intentional, it’s just born of (if you’ll pardon the likely-inaccurate cliché) being in right-brained creative mode and caring …

If you are like me, you are both guilty of seriously unorganized Photoshop documents and appreciate well organized ones. The disorganization isn't intentional, it's just born of (if you'll pardon the likely-inaccurate cliché) being in right-brained creative mode and caring about what you are looking at not the left-brained organizational stuff. Then it compounds itself as you go in and out of the file for days on end. If you are handing this file off to someone else, or are …

Ask a bunch of designers what they wish CSS could do that it can't now, and you'll get a big list that reads much like the list of features for the Compass/Sass framework. If you are like me, you don't have any trouble writing CSS, but the thought of being able to using things like variables, mixins, and nesting is rather enticing. I learned quite a bit in my first musings with Compass/Sass and answered a lot of my own …

Working locally with MAMP is awesome, but what about when you need to take that site live? Last time we got a version of WordPress installed locally, now we'll take that local version and move it to a real live site. This entails moving files as well as moving the database, and changing a couple of values in that database. Links from Video: MAMP Sequel Pro Transmit 4 Moving WordPress in 10 steps …

I’m way behind the times on this one, but until recently, I have never really developed locally. Everything I did was “going commando” and working directly on servers. The situation arose where I really needed to, so now I have …
