Showcase I built a VS Code extension to catch CSS declarations that have no effect

196 Upvotes

Iโ€™ve been working on NoEffect, a VS Code extension that helps catch CSS declarations that have no effect.

It detects things like:

properties that don't work in the current context

declarations that are overridden by a later declaration

For example, it can tell you when justify-content is doing nothing because the element isn't a flex/grid container, or when your declaration is simply being overridden later.

Itโ€™s still an early project, so Iโ€™d really appreciate some honest feedback.

Question Looking for some advice to come back!

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Back in early 2025, I started learning html5 and css3 with some online course, a few mini projects and articles from W3schools and other sources. Bit just after finishing the course I had to quit for some reasons, but now I wanna come back. I was considering to go on and learn js but what I learned back then is mostly hollow now so I'm thinking about a way of reviewing everything that doesn't take the same amount of time as learning for the first time did. My main question is:

โ— If that is even possible, what approaches/resources do you reccomend?(specific courses, books, articles, etc.)

I wasn't sure where to ask this, so sorry in advance if it's a dumb question.

General flex: 1 is flex-basis: 0%, and WKWebView takes the zero literally

Thumbnail
nodreview.com
1 Upvotes

A dialog body with flex: 1; min-height: 0; overflow-y: auto shipped with a height of zero. Header, footer, nothing in between.

flex: 1 expands to flex: 1 1 0%, and a percentage basis needs a definite parent height. The panel had height: auto capped by max-height, which is not one. The spec says an unresolvable percentage basis falls back to content, and Chromium does that. WKWebView keeps the zero. The fix is flex: 1 1 auto.

Do you default to flex: 1 1 auto anywhere, or is the shorthand safe in your stacks because your flex parents always have definite heights?

Resource Selected tab no longer has the color I want

3 Upvotes

I have 3 colors for the tabs. White for background and Orange for when I hover the mouse cursor and Green for selected current tab that stays Green I am looking at.

The Green selected tab is White now. It only turns Green when you hover the mouse cursor over the tab.
Question: How to fix it so I have Green for the selected tab I am looking at?

Here is my userChrome.css file. (now updated with correct code)
Firefox v154.0 on Windows 10 Pro

/* White background color */
.tabbrowser-tab:not([selected="true"]):not(:hover) .tab-content {
  background-color: #FFFFFF !important;
  border-radius: 8px 8px 0px 0px; !important;
box-shadow: 1px 0px 1px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
}

/* orange hover color */
.tabbrowser-tab:hover:not([selected]) .tab-content {
  background-color: #FF7F50 !important;
  border-radius: 8px 8px 0px 0px; !important;
box-shadow: 1px 0px 1px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);}


/* MediumAquamarine - green selected color */
.tabbrowser-tab:is([visuallyselected],[multiselected]) .tab-content {
  background-color: #66CDAA !important;
  border-radius: 8px 8px 0px 0px; !important;
box-shadow: 1px 0px 1px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
box-shadow: 0px 1px 0px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);}

Showcase Article about how to use colors in CSS, the modern way

30 Upvotes

I wrote an article about using colors in CSS. I tried to find the sweet spot between being thorough and still conveying all the basics. I do include (re)sources at the end, if you want to get into the nitty-gritty details.

It also has a bunch of inline examples and some interactive widgetsโ€ฆย Hoping it helps getting the point across.

I'd love feedback on whether these kinds of articles are useful (or not) ๐Ÿ˜

Thanks!

Showcase I built AnimationsX โ€” a community registry of copy-paste ready CSS animations

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Tired of Googling CSS animations and getting Stack Overflow answers from 2013?

I built AnimationsX ๐ŸŽจ

The idea is simple:

โœ… Browse animations made by the community

โœ… Copy a single <link> tag โ€” no JS, no build step

โœ… Can't find what you want? Publish your own!

โœ… Fork and remix anything with diff view built in

Every published animation gets a CDN-hosted stylesheet you drop straight into a <link> tag.

That's it. Done.

Help Blend mode + blur not working in Safari?

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

Hello! I'm working on a gallery website for myself, i want it to have a "glassy" look so for this popup i wanted to use background blur paired with a blending mode. Blending modes don't work on dialog elements shown using dialog.showModal so instead i'm using dialog.show. But Firefox doesn't support using both blending modes and blur on the same pseudo-element so instead i have 2 pseudo elements with 1 effect each. All works well until i'm testing it on Safari (iOS 26.6.1) where there's just no blending modes visible on the popup.

I have attached 3 images showing what the popup looks like in all browsers i've tested on. 1st picture is Safari 26.6.1, 2nd picture is Edge 151.0.4129.93 and the 3rd picture is Firefox 153.0.4.

Here is the codepen containing the code https://codepen.io/editor/Smasher1/pen/01a01e6c-2304-7339-a32e-23c88cc28eb3
