Sass mixin - rems with px fallback
// This mixin outputs a property with rem units and a px fallback.
// Values passed without units are used as multipliers for the final
// rem and px values, all other units are output without modification.
// $base-font-size represents the root value of the document font-size
// in pixels.
//
// i.e. html { font-size: 100%;} // -> 16px
// Usage:
// @include px-and-rem([property], [multiplier | explicit value] [, ...]);

Webkit Pseudo-Element Selectors (Shadow DOM Elements)

An ongoing project to catalogue all of these sneaky, hidden, bleeding edge selectors as I prepare my JSConf EU 2012 talk.

Everything is broken up by tag, but within each the selectors aren't particularly ordered.

I have not tested/verified all of these. Have I missed some or got it wrong? Let me know. - A

A friendly reminder that you may need to set this property on your target/selected element to get the styling results you want:

-webkit-appearance:none;

Viewport meta tags used by the 20 sites that are listed in Social Driver's "20 Best Responsive Web Design Examples of 2012"

Intro

http://socialdriver.com/2012/07/20-best-responsive-websites/ lists 20 sites that are supposedly best-in-class when it comes to responsive design techniques. I had a look at the viewport meta tags used in these sites.

Findings

  • All sites use width=device-width, with in most cases an additional initial-scale=1. This is good practice.

However:

  • 8 sites turn off pinch-zooming by setting maximum-scale to 1, or using user-scalable=no. While there are some corner use cases for this, it does not make sense to do this on text-heavy sites as it impairs accessibility.
  • 3 sites use semi-colons as delimiters between viewport values. While this works in newer mobile browsers, it's not officially supported, and breaks in older mobile browser versions.
  • 1 site has 2 viewport meta tags (with different values) in the source...
