You Know What? Just Don’t Split Words into Letters: "If you need to split words into their constituent letters to adjust kerning, apply gradients, animate them, or whatever, find another method, because screen readers will present the words letter by letter." #a11y adrianroselli.com/2026/02/you-...
CSS selector syntax highlighting “:has()” displays a function for targeting elements based on contained elements rather than their state.
CSS :has() is the parent selector we’ve always wanted 🎯
Target elements based on what they contain, not just their own state.
⋅ Style a form when it has an error input
⋅ Add spacing to any element with children
⋅ Combine with :not()

I love this crazy demo! 🤣
CSS shape() landed in Firefox 148. It's similar to path(), but allows the full expressiveness of CSS…
Firefox is joining the shape() game 🤩
It's a good time for some blobs: css-generators.com/blob/
Or maybe a nice wavy divider: css-generators.com/wavy-divider/
And stay tuned for another generator and more shapes next week! 🤫
You can throw away innerHTML and replace it with the new setHTML(), which has a built-in sanitizer. Here's how it works:

✍️ New post: Continvoucly Morged Value
Couldn't get out of my head what happened to @nvie.com’s diagram – and so I wrote down a few premature thoughts about what happens when we mistake the (AI) artifact for the work …

✨ I just published a new blog post about a nifty lil’ animation technique: sprites!
Sprites are used all the time in video games, but they’re less common on the web. We do have the tools to manage it in CSS, but there’s a gotcha.
In this post, I share some of the cool use cases I’ve found:
Glad to stumble upon this post by Margaret-Anne Storey. It echos some of my recent experiences with Generative AI. It's very quick to spin up something that is quite large and complex and you don't know how it works. And a lack of understanding is technical debt.

Schadenfreude, Weltschmerz und Kindergarten kannte ich, aber dass im Englischen auch Foosball, Schwarmerei und Flak als Lehnwörter aus dem Deutschen gebräuchlich sind, das war mir neu.
I've been experimenting with an upcoming CSS feature called border-shape lately.
It's really cool what you can do with it: lots of practical applications + it opens a lot of doors for non-rectangular UIs!
Try it in Canary w/experimental web platform features on, & read more:

💡 CSS Tip!
For years, we've had the "z-index, stacking context" nightmare, but we will soon have a worse nightmare related to Anchor Positioning 😱
When it doesn't work, it's frustrating, so it's time to learn how it really works.

It's not as simple as you might think!
"When it comes to front-end development, that line is for me to stay as close as I can to raw HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. After all, that’s what users are going to get in their browsers." @adactio.com

Here's a quick rundown of what we delivered as part of Interop 2025, and what's planned for Interop 2026!
Nice Select: "This select component shows what's possible when we combine modern #CSS with progressive enhancement. appearance: base-select provides the foundation, while anchor positioning, scroll-state, and entrance animations create a polished, accessible experience." nerdy.dev/nice-select
#CSS @scope: An Alternative To Naming Conventions And Heavy Abstractions: "Prescriptive class name conventions are no longer enough to keep CSS maintainable. Can the new @scope rule give devs the confidence to write CSS that keeps up with modern front ends?" www.smashingmagazine.com/2026/02/css-...

I've been on a bit of a social media hiatus, but I've written a new post about something that's been on my mind a lot lately localghost.dev/blog/stop-ge...
This select demo by @nerdy.dev is so nice 🤩 the combination of techniques is a joy to read through as well! nerdy.dev/nice-select
There is No Need to Trap Focus on a Dialog Element: "Accessibility advice around modals have commonly taught us to trap focus within the modal. Upon further research, it seems like we no longer need to trap focus within the <dialog> (even in modal mode)." #a11y css-tricks.com/there-is-no-...
Drawing Connections with #CSS Anchor Positioning: "Every now and then, CSS gets a new feature that makes you pause and go: wait… we can do that now? The idea is deceptively simple: let one element position itself relative to another, without JS or wrapper elements." rolandfranke.nl/frontend-sto...
