The joy of pixeling and building pixel tools with HTML5 canvas and JavaScript

Some people knit, others do puzzles, and yet others find calm by colouring. Me, I love pixeling. My computer career started with a super basic computer. It didn’t even have a way to store what I programmed. So, every day, I would write myself a small program that allows me to paint on the screen […]

Limiting input type=”color” to a certain palette (from an image)

The colour input type is pretty amazing, if you think about it. You can pick a colour from it and there are lots of great presets available. The colour picker is provided by the OS for the browser, so it differs from machine to machine. I, for example, totally missed that on a Mac, you […]

Progressively enhancing radio buttons with SVG whilst staying accessible

Sometimes it is fun to re-visit very basic HTML things and look what we can do with them nowadays. This is what I will do now with a radio button group. I will progressively enhance it to look great and still work with keyboard and screen readers. As part of my Logo-O-Matic upgrade, I added […]

How to Cancel a Fetch Request

JavaScript promises have always been a major win for the language — they’ve led to a revolution of asynchronous coding that has vastly improved performance on the web. One shortcoming of native promises is that there’s no true way to cancel a fetch…until now. A new AbortController has been added to the JavaScript specification that […]

Changing a Background-image with CSS3 Transitions

As you may have read, outside of gradients, you can’t change a background-image with CSS transitions. Or can you?

Firefox multi-column layout bug… and a unicorn

Last night, I was getting a file ready to share with Estelle Weyl, one of my co-presenters for our CSS3 workshop at SXSW11.

I had only viewed the file in Chrome since that’s [...]

CSS3: spread value and box-shadow on one side only

This morning I awakened with a question in my twitter stream from @deebeefunky. He was frustrated by the fact that when he sets a blur on box-shadow, it shows on two sides of the box. He wants it to show on only one side. Of course, that got me thinking. I did come up with [...]
