Does you web app requires a 10MB JavaScript to work?

Not anymore!

Bare: Run #JavaScript everywhere, actually: https://bare.pears.com/

TIL the innerText property represents the *rendered* text, not the actual text in the DOM - for that you need textContent. So if you've uppercased your content with #CSS it will also be uppercase.

I just spent way too long debugging why the #Shopify predictive search breaks if I update the styling of the search button!

Firefox 137 is around the corner and I realized I didn't wrote DevTools release post since the beginning of the year
Let's start with updates in version 134, which brought a few fixes and some nice accessibility improvements: https://fxdx.dev/firefox-devtools-newsletter-134/

Folks who #website: I'm trying to create a slice'n'dice-able #data #table -- somewhat like https://instances.vantage.sh/ with the per-column client-side search/constraint/etc. FWIW my data's a discrete JSON file.

I'm allergic to JavaScript insofar as I have zero idea what I'm doing with it (and *can't* do anything with it, myself) but will happily copy'n'paste it as needed.

Got any pointers? #websites #HTML #datadriven #javascript #js #webdev #WebDesign #WebDevelopment #dataviz

I’m probably one of the few that advocates for 100% Code Coverage.

There may be some justifiable exceptions, but overall it’s just a good practice to avoid something that doesn’t work as expected.

Parallax layers

A subtle shift across 13 layers kept within a frame on the page.

Flip card on hover, flip back on hover out...

... but on touchscreens, flip it on click and then flip it back on second click!

A mostly #CSS solution, using #3D transforms, variables, grid, pointer MQ + a little bit of #JS.

Because somebody asked how to do it https://www.reddit.com/r/css/comments/1jm0a7v/comment/mk7zmd5/

Se ois kuulkaas rekryhommat auki Fennoalla.

Etsin softatiimiini kahta hyvää tyyppiä, 1x mid- ja 1x senior-devaajaa. Perustaitoina tulisi olla PHP ja JS, mutta erityisesti sennun kohdalla kaipaan taitoja myös siitä koodin yläpuolelta. Sisartiimiin etsitään myös yhtä senior-devaajaa.

New Kitten release

• Now leaves <style> tags within <template> tags alone when collating and normalising the CSS on a page so as not to interfere with scoped styles in declarative shadow DOM.

(Kitten’s Streaming HTML workflow¹ – which uses htmx and WebSockets under the hood – combined with built-in support for slots, etc., in Kitten components² means the use of declarative shadow DOM is mostly useful if you want scoped styles. Ideally, of course, use classes to scope styles to your components and be specific in your CSS selectors in general so as not to pollute elements in your components. Although that’s a bit like saying you should floss everyday. Yeah, we all know we should…) :)

Update: All that said, I’d highly recommend you don’t use Shadow DOM in your Kitten apps. For one thing, htmx’s WebSocket extension doesn’t seem to play well with it. And for another, you really don’t need it and definitely not just to get scoped CSS.

Enjoy!

Made this a couple of years ago on @codepen but for some reason never shared it: a hopefully accessible base for a smooth elastic dropdown https://codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/qBJENKM

Based on a thing at a now dead link which did something of the kind with a huge div soup.

Someone hearted this button ripple effect demo on @codepen (coded about half a decade ago) and made me notice it still said "only works in Chromium" - as of last summer, it's cross-browser!

New Kitten release

• Socket routes now have precendence in the router.

This stops wildcard page routes from capturing the default socket routes that Kitten creates to enable the Streaming HTML workflow.

e.g., Previously, the following route:

/videos/index_[slug].page.js

Could not connect to its default socket (/videos/default.socket) because default.socket would be captured by the [slug] parameter.

Now, it will work as intended as the /videos/default.socket (a socket route) has precendence over index_[slug].page.js (a page route).

Enjoy!
