I believe we are deep in “The Age of Maybe“. Chances are, you have hundreds of Facebook friends, and thus many social engagements that you are invited to through Facebook, evite, or Meetup. With social connections so much looser than they once were, it makes RSVPing Maybe to these things very easy to do. You want to see who else will be going. You want to see if something better will be going on that day. You probably won’t admit that these are the reasons why, but at any rate, you RSVP Maybe. keep on reading »
I just read an article with a pretty intriguing proposal in it. If I understand it correctly, Luke Redpath proposes that the next CSS specification include an ability to specify that an element contain other elements by default. This would be an ideal way to create visual effects that would otherwise require extraneous DIV tags. For example, for the technique, Onion Skinned Drop Shadows, the code would look something like this:
.wrap1, .wrap2, .wrap3 {
display:inline-table;
/* \*/display:block;/**/
}
.wrap3 {
padding:0 4px 4px 0;
background:url(corner_tr.gif) right
top no-repeat;
}
/* CSS rules from the future */
.wrap1 {
contain: .wrap2
float:left;
background:url(shadow.gif) right
bottom no-repeat;
}
.wrap2 {
contain: .wrap3
background:url(corner_bl.gif) left
bottom no-repeat;
}
img .shadow {
contain: .wrap1
}
/* end CSS rules from the future */ Now, instead of your markup looking like this:
<div class="wrap1"> <div class="wrap2"> <div class="wrap3"> <img src="object.gif" alt="The object casting a shadow" /> </div> </div> </div>
It would look like this:
<img class="shadow" src="object.gif" alt="The object casting a shadow" />
I think this would be a big step toward separating presentation from content.
