Potentially Coming to a Browser :near() You | CSS-Tricks

Thomas Walichiewicz, who proposed :near(), suggests that it works like this: button:near(3rem) { /* Pointer is within 3rem of the button */ } For those wondering, yes, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to measure the straight-line distance between two elements using JavaScript ("Euclidean distance" is the mathematical term), so I imagine that's what would be used behind the scenes here.

Unstacking CSS Stacking Contexts - Smashing Magazine

Stacking contexts are incredibly useful, but they're also widely misunderstood and often mistakenly created, leading to a slew of layout issues that can be tricky to solve. Have you ever set z-index: 99999 on an element in your CSS, and it doesn't come out on top of other elements? A value that large should easily place that element visually on top of anything else, assuming all the different elements are set at either a lower value or not set at all.

Making a Responsive Pyramidal Grid With Modern CSS | CSS-Tricks

Support is limited to Chrome only because this technique uses recently released features, including corner-shape, sibling-index(), and unit division. In this article, we will explore another type of grid: a pyramidal one. We are still working with hexagon shapes, but a different organization of the elements. A demo worth a thousand words: For better visualization, open the full-page view of the demo to see the pyramidal structure. On screen resize, you get a responsive behavior where the bottom part starts to behave similarly to the grid we created in the previous article!

What's !important #4: Videos & View Transitions, Named Media Queries, How Browsers Work, and More | CSS-Tricks

Chris Coyier demonstrates how to maintain a video's state across different pages using CSS view transitions. He notes that this is fairly easy to do with same-page view transitions, but with multi-page view transitions you'll need to leverage JavaScript's pageswap event to save information about the video's state in sessionStorage as a JSON string (works with audio and iframes too), and then use that information to restore the state on pagereveal. Yes, there's a tiiiiny bit of audio stutter because we're technically faking it, but it's still super neat.

New Safari developer tools provide insight into CSS Grid Lanes

CSS Grid Lanes adds a whole new capability to CSS Grid. It lets you line up content in either columns or rows - and not both. This layout pattern allows content of various aspect ratios to pack together. No longer do you need to truncate content artificially to make it fit. Plus, the content that's earlier in the HTML gets grouped together towards the start of the container. If new items get lazy loaded, they appear at the end without reshuffling what's already on screen.
