Sometimes you look at an old HTML document and see some weird tags and snippets from bygone eras. I've complied many legacy HTML bits I've noticed and documented what they were and why there were present. Many of them are rather obscure. Satisfy your curiosity: vale.rocks/posts/html-r...

vale.rocksAntiquated HTML Snippets and ArtefactsOverviews of the very many snippets of code that were once commonly included on websites to address specific cases with certain technologies, browsers, operating systems, or extensions. Fragments dating back to the days of Internet Explorer and Netscape, to more modern bits that are nonetheless obsolete.

Be careful when adding IDs, classes, or attributes in your markup that could be interpreted as paid content placement. Even if not actually advertisements or sponsored content, there is a good chance they'll be blocked by content blockers and filters. Further details 👉 vale.rocks/micros/20260...

Progressive enhancement as a benefit of CSS Nesting Something I knew is that in browser that support CSS nesting you can nest @media queries inside of other CSS declarations. What I only fully grasped a few days ago is how well this works for progressive enhancement.

Tried to reiterate a few band logos. The last one was pretty difficult. 😉

I highly recommend Laura’s book. I bought it and read it a few years ago and still reread some parts of it from time to time.

Laura Kalbag@laurakalbag.com

My book, Accessibility For Everyone, is now free and online as a website. accessibilityforeveryone.site The book was first published by A Book Apart in 2017 but it holds up! It covers web accessibility for designers, developers, content folks, and really everyone who works in tech.

⚓️ New Article: The overflow: hidden property and sticky headers

gomakethings.comThe overflow: hidden property and sticky headersWhile working on Kelp, my UI library for people who love HTML, I learned something new-to-me: Setting overflow: hidden prevents the position: sticky property from working. It doesn’t even matter if the hidden overflow is in the scroll direction. Setting overflow-x: hidden to prevent horizontal scroll prevents sticky headers from sticky with vertical scrolling. I also learned that overflow: clip solves this very problem! The overflow: clip property produces the same visual effect as overflow: hidden.
