We’ve all had to achieve some effect that required an extra handful of divs or PNGs. We shouldn’t be limited to these old techniques when there’s a new age coming. This new age includes the use of CSS3. In today’s tutorial, I’ll show you eleven different time-consuming effects that can be achieved quite easily with CSS3.
Alex Russell has been having a really interesting discussion with some standards folks about what is wrong on the Web right now, and it narrowed down to discuss CSS variables as a case study (it aint perfect, but get DRY and ship it!)
Alex tells it how it is, but people forget that he does this as he is passionate about the Web, and that he does also give credit and positive outlook IF it is due!
Webkit is one of the few – if only – browser engines that really embraces advanced CSS3 effects. Unfortunately, this presents somewhat of a double-edged sword. We get to play with all of these amazing effects – such as CSS masks, reflections, transitions, animations, scaling, etc. – yet, we can’t truly implement them into our projects until more browsers provide support. With all of that said, it’s important to be on the cutting edge of what’s possible.
In today’s video tutorial, we’ll review a bunch of different neat effects that can be used in Safari 4, Chrome, and for all iPhone development.
In the last weeks I frequently received a question about how to use CSS3 border-radius property to draw HTML elements with rounded corners in Internet Explorer. How you know CSS3 border-radius property is natively supported in Safari, Firefox and Chrome but for some mysterious reason this property is not supported in Internet Explorer.
CSS 3 is just around the corner and is bringing some really interesting features to the web design world with easy to implement rounded corners and opacity, multi-column layouts and other techniques that a web developer uses on a day by day basis.
These are some tutorials that I found very interesting and that work as a sample of what you can do with CSS3.
The latest wave of web browsers have pretty decent support for a variety of CSS3 stuff. Particularly Safari 4 and Firefox 3.1. This screencast covers many of the techniques now possible, focusing on the ones that can be used for progressive visual enhancement. Border radius, @font-face, animations/transitions, text-shadow, box-shadow, multiple backgrounds, RGBa, gradients, border image…
How to use CSS3 today with safety to create visible effects in all browsers? Simple! Hiding it in jQuery! In this way your problem is just to know if the browser supports jQuery. Today we show yuo a useful list to learn to use CSS3 via jQuery but let’s start with some info and examples about the CSS3 code to understand how to use it after with jQuery.
CSS3 and HTML 5 are capable of revolutionizing the way we design websites. Both include so many new features and functions that it can be hard to wrap your head around them at times. The inclusion of native support for things like rounded corners and multi-column layouts are just the tip of the ice berg.
Below are seventy resources, tutorials, and articles to get you started with CSS3 and HTML 5. Many of the techniques discussed are already supported to some extent in some some modern web browsers (Safari and Firefox have the most extensive support), so you can get started right away.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is the language of Web design, and the next generation of CSS design properties are just chomping at the bit to be released. Are you eager to start using them, but don’t know where to start? Although many of the new properties are not yet “official”, some browsers have already implemented many of the features of the coming CSS Level 3 specifications. The problem is that many browsers—most notably Internet Explorer—have not. The trick to using these new CSS3 features is to treat them as design enhancements.
Recently I have been playing around with CSS transitions and animations as implemented in webkit based browsers such as Safari and Chrome. They have been submitted to the W3C for consideration in the CSS3 spec so hopefully we should see more browsers support this soon, Firefox 3.5 supports CSS transforms which was developed by the webkit people to work alongside CSS animations & transitions.
To continue my effort to accomplish tasks in CSS that are usually reserved for JavaScript, such as my Futurebox and CSS based iPhone orientation detection. I have developed a CSS based version of the popular “accordion effect” that utilises the webkit CSS transitions. Like the Futurebox demo I’m utilising the CSS3 :target pseudo class to know which item to show based the URI fragment identifier (the # in the url).
