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? At InControl Conference last week, Greg Rewis spoke about Transitions, Transforms and Animations.

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.

Font Smoothing — It’s not just for Webkit anymore

I ran into a very frustrating bug while using icon fonts on our site at Contatta.

While implementing the trial automation flows at Contatta, one of my goals was to create an exit survey email for people who did the 30-day trial but had decided not to move to the paid plan.

All your base, are belong to us — or what base size do em-based media queries use?

Yesterday, we had a discussion at work about rems, ems and percentages. I’ve used ems for media queries for years. I’ve used rems for font sizing for a couple of years. I felt like I had a pretty good handle on how it all works. Most of you probably understand the difference, but let’s do [...]
