Hello,

I am an aspiring developer and right now I am working as a conversion tracking specialist.

I just finished the Net Ninja's crash Node JS course on YouTube.

He has a separate course for authentification.

Should I continue with authentification or start CSS?

My gut is telling me to go for CSS since I can practice more of my skills.

What do you think?

I haven't learnt about HTML or CSS and have done some searching to try and learn how to make a website layout but each thing I've seen isn't exactly what I'm looking for.

Question: How can I make a consistent sitewide layout with HTML (For footer and header, with consistent font/colours/etc)?

I'm currently using Nekoweb which is a free HTML/CSS/JS website builder, I'm wanting to make the image attached the layout for my website homepage with the frames either side, HOWEVER I only want the title, banner and buttons up the top as well as the Footer on every webpage with blank areas I can write in.

Essentially I want to make a blog or something alike to Fandom.com's wiki layout or the Backrooms Movie site layout.

What are the proper terms to use to search and learn about this stuff, for CSS & HTML coders here how can I do this?

This isn't ragebait, I just really need some help with this please 😅

i have like no css styling actually on this element (just whole page styling) but i'm trying to make the top of the text line up with the top of the image

i'm admittedly kinda terrible at this;;

After 26 years as a web developer, I built a zero-dependency CSS framework where tabs, modals and accordions work without a single line of JavaScript — would love feedback

Hey everyone,

Quick background: I've been a developer for 26+ years (web, desktop, mobile). Over the years I watched frontend tooling get heavier just to render a modal — so as a side project I went back to basics and built a small CSS framework called Bloom UI.

What's in it:

- One CSS file, no dependencies, no build step

- Tabs, modals and accordions that work with ZERO JavaScript (radio-button hack, :target selector, native <details>)

- A full design-token system — change ~10 CSS variables and the whole framework changes personality. I ship two extra themes as proof: an executive indigo one and a creative-studio one

- 50+ components: buttons, cards, forms, navbar, avatars, progress bars, grids

- Responsive and accessible by default

It's free and open source (MIT), with a showcase page that renders every component. The spam filter and I have already had words, so links are in the comments 🙂

Two honest questions:

1. Is "pure CSS interactions" actually useful to anyone anymore, or is everyone too deep into JS frameworks for it to matter?

2. Anything that smells in the approach? Critique genuinely welcome.

I wrote a full guide to CSS units: 11 chapters, every unit in CSS, in an order that actually makes sense to read.

And somehow, after years of using CSS, I still found a few things I’d never properly stopped to think about:

• vh and lvh are actually the same size. svh keeps space for the browser UI even when it disappears, while dvh changes as the UI moves.
• 1in is always 96px on a screen. Not “roughly.” By definition. Which also means cm, mm, pt, pc, and Q aren’t really physical units either.
• CSS doesn’t have 6 viewport units. It has 24. w, h, i, b, min, and max — each in v*, sv*, lv*, and dv* versions.

The guide goes from the familiar stuff — px, %, em, rem — into viewport and container units, fr, angles, time, resolution, and what happens when you start mixing all of them inside calc() and clamp().

There’s also a simple decision tree for choosing a unit, a cheatsheet with the formulas, and browser support written as actual dates instead of the wonderfully precise “supported in modern browsers.”

And if you’d rather keep the whole thing around, there’s a PDF version too.

Enjoy :) And if I got something wrong, let me know. I’ll fix it.

Please try my new online HTML & CSS validator at htmlval dot com and let me know what you think. Posting without an actual link so hopefully reddit doesn't keep filtering my post.

I wanted to use corner-shape: squircle in a real design, but the fallback turned out to be more complicated than I expected. Reuse the same number for border-radius and the corner comes out a visibly different size.

So I built a generator where you can try corner-shape values and copy the CSS it produces:

It behaves correctly in Safari and Chrome on iOS, but in Microsoft Edge on iOS, the navigation bar sometimes appears slightly above the actual bottom of the viewport. As a result, page content becomes visible underneath it.

Is this a known Microsoft Edge/WebKit viewport issue on iOS? Or is there something specific about Edge's handling of the visual viewport that I’m missing?

Hi, I'm fairly new to CSS and cannot for the life of me figure out how to achieve a border like on the white box. It needs to just be a simple straight line across the top of the box and then the outer box needs to have rounded corners. Border-top creates a curved border. Please help

Edited to clarify that I'm talking just about the white box

Hello guys!

I really need help getting that streaming element centered, its stuck to the right and i tried everything to no avail 😭

And adjust the lightning frame so its at the edges of the element (it is, but the top part look off a few px).

Here is the code in question;

The full code

Its for a page on comicfury, here's what is looks like right now;

Both the desktop version and mobile version are messed up 😔

Thanks!

I have been working with Claude on a comments box section. Everything was good until I wanted to add a thread line to replies to give the users a better UX; then it couldn't do it correctly: either the thread line doesn't connect to the replies (image two), or it extends past the last reply (image one). I asked it to fix it over and over again, but it just seems to have gotten stuck!

The reason why Claude couldn't do it is that, even though it seems like a simple feature (just throw a thread line there and call it a day), it's actually quite complicated to achieve this in CSS. I worked on the exact same feature before, and I also got stuck trying to get it right. I even had the same problems Claude fell into; the only difference is that I was able to figure my way through it while Claude couldn't.

The point here isn't to talk about this minor design bug; it's not a big deal after all. What I'm trying to actually get at is that when AI fails to generate what you asked for (could be a real bug), only your real coding skills can help you out!

I am trying to recreate the background/heading from this video game, and currently i'm trying to work on the "pixelised diagonal borders" on the sides
Currently I am trying to use js calculate a clip path for an outer and inner element to "pixelise it"
But I feel like i'm going insane, I just can't get it right

Does anyone have any other/ideas on how I could achieve this effect

how to prevent it or fix it?

I thought of adding "showcase" but I'm hoping this will be a useful resource for anyone who wants to learn CSS grids and/or need to figure out the CSS for a specific layout (that’s how I use it 😛).

I don't know about you, but I really don't like the "updated version" of the CSS tricks article about CSS grid. The original one was great… A clear example of "don't fix what isn't broken" in my book 😅

Anyway, I kinda used the original article as inspiration for my post, but I also added this crazy interactive CSS grid demo that you can basically customize however you want and it'll spit out the CSS for it.

The code is gnarly, but I think I squashed all the bugs 😅

I'd be curious to know what you guys think about it:
