HTML images just got better, with the subtlest change to your codebase Photo by Adi Suyatno I know what you’re thinking. Scott, I landed on Medium on a small but not mobile-small display and the download chunk related to images in my home feed was like 7% smaller. First of all, thank you for noticing. Second, what if I told…

My software development team had a client who wanted to represent activity on a stage, not in the usual top-down layout that shows up all over the internet. A 3D stage? Reasonable request, slightly unreasonable visual problem. My wacky idea: what if this was mostly CSS? Maybe a little JavaScript. But mostly CSS. It turns […] The post How to…

In June 2021, we decided to start converting the source code for MDN web docs from HTML into a format that would be easier for us to work with. The goal was to get 100% of our manually-written documentation converted to Markdown, and we really had a mountain of source code to climb for this particular expedition. In this post,…

Last year, during lockdown, many discovered the importance of PDF forms when having to deal remotely with administrations and large organizations like banks. Firefox supported displaying PDF forms, but it didn’t support filling them: users had to print them, fill them by hand, and scan them back to digital form. We decided it was time to reinvest in the PDF…

CSS is the design language of the web — one of three core web languages — but it also seems to be the most contentious and often perplexing. It's too easy and too hard, too fragile and too resilient. Love it or hate it, CSS is weird: not quite markup, not quite programming in the common (imperative) sense, and nothing…

I ran across an old posting from dbaron about how CSS’s 2nd generation still can’t do simple box layout needed for UI, which means that the web is full of hacky table tags. XUL box layout, which appears to be headed for standardization in the CSS working group, is a known solution that should be … Continue reading "XUL box…
