The HTML details element cannot be a flex or grid container webplatform.news/#1671476039000

The HTML <details> element cannot become a flexbox or grid container (display: flex and display: grid are ignored). This restriction is specified in the HTML Standard (“The <details> element is expected to render as a block box”) and implemented in all browsers. It is possible to work around this limitation with display: contents. Browsers also allow turning <details> into an inline-level element (display: inline).

Understanding JavaScript Promises

There’s still time to buy my latest book, Understanding JavaScript Promises. Makes a great holiday gift for the JS dev in your life. a.co/d/8PSEmB6 Literally everything I know about promises is in this book. Self-published, so I really appreciate your support.

A common accessibility issue with sticky headers is that it's possible for focused elements to be obscured by the header. This article from @siblingpastry presents a design pattern to address the problem. tpgi.com/prevent-focuse

Thisss. 💯 As I always say: I'll always take readable "dumb" code over unreadable "clever" code any day.

Good code should be readable by anyone regardless of skill level. Go flex on your own personal projects.

Every day I recite the content of the course *flawlessly* all day. Ideas flow, and I *enjoy* speaking to (you through) the camera. But as soon as I turn on the key light and hit record, my brain goes blank. 😶‍🌫️ The bloopers are both funny and painful to watch.

I could write a small book just about the process, lessons learned, and so much more.

Also why I'm thankful to all of your love and support. ♥️

One of the most important things the #PracticalA11y course has taught me is focus. I usually stop personal projects halfway & switch to new ones when the ideas spark in my head. The #a11y course is the first project I've ever fully dedicated my time & energy to. ♥️

Style a parent element based on its number of children using CSS :has()

Great to see

and I all chose the :has() selector as our pick of 2022 If you havent checked it out, I suggest you do — it's SO POWERFUL: - brm.us/css-has - developer.chrome.com/blog/has-m105/ - webkit.org/blog/13096/css -
