Re: A Learning Profile for Bangladesh: Too Darn Flat

Divya Manian — Tue, 24 Dec 2013 10:07:16 -0000

I cannot understand this shock without knowing how it compares to similar figures from countries where it is *not* flat. Are there any countries like that? If so, how does the graph look like?

It is more readable & allow browsers to do their own optimizations for accuracy.

Re: Using background clip for text with CSS fallback

Android 2.2 does not support the newer gradient syntax. You must use the older one.

Ha, nice try with background-size, however I think it is best to reset background only for browsers that require resetting the background, rather than do it all at once and enable it back again only for -webkit- browsers.

Hmm my reply seems to have vanished :/

The pure CSS solution would work perfectly fine as text-fill-color would work just as fine with a legacy gradient syntax that Android browser employs.

Modernizr script has been removed since because it is not a fool-proof test.

Your link to VOX features does not lead to a stylesheet :(

Yeah!

You would need to reset the background property as required for old iOSes but I doubt you need them given how quickly iOS gets adopted.

Re: Markup-free icon fonts using unicode-range

Divya Manian — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 19:58:15 -0000

This only applies if you have no other information to offer except the icons. My use case only has icons as something that enhances existing information about actions to take. I would definitely not recommend providing just an icon without a label even for non-screen reader use cases.

Sure, but I do not want every occurrence of 'twitter' to be turned into a bird. And I cannot possibly have text like 'twitter-icon' either. Using such word substitutions does not allow deliberate choice of icons, without markup.

Also, there is no support for shape-outside
yet. [1]http://hansmuller-webkit.bl... would be a good place to keep track of support for it in WebKit.

Note that IE10 supports both Regions and Exclusions, without requiring a special build.

Not quite the way the specifications are written. Positioned floats was an IE spec that was integrated into the Exclusions Spec which has been implemented in IE 10. The primary features of exclusions in my view are the `shape-inside` & `shape-outside` properties. IE10 does not support them yet. W.r.t Regions, IE10 requires iFrame & does not yet support auto-sizing of content into regions. I am pretty sure they do not support Regions API either.

Doubtless, they would add support for all of these soon. Yes, I know Firefox supports hyphens, will update the examples.

That would be the case *today*. 4 years from now, when @supports is standard, we would still be able to use the newer features while providing a workable design for browsers that do not support them.

Tom, I am unable to see what you are describing. Can you create a reduced test case [1]http://css-tricks.com/reduc... & also post a picture of how it should look like & how it appears?

Congratulations Rebecca! You both would make such lovely parents!

Thank you! I fixed the typo.

Nothing to do with being semantic, merely having one single stylesheet to apply on both SVG and HTML files.

I think Phillip is alluding to the 'new' in the title of this post :)

OOo, of course. `top` seems obvious now. Thanks David!

Re: h5bp docs comment for /docs/htaccess/

A 'real subdomain' would be something that is like 'docs' in docs.h5bp.comor 'sports' in
sports.bbcnews.com.

Sure! We have a website that does http://html.adobe.com Let me know if that does not help.

Re: http://nimbupani.com/fake-bolding-of-web-fonts.html

Divya Manian — Sat, 19 May 2012 16:36:40 -0000

Sure. But it maybe likely that those SHA-linked fonts could change anytime and I would rather make changes in my CSS than hope Google retains the same links for a dynamic url.

The "mystery margins" are those provided by browsers by default. Please read http://nicolasgallagher.com... to find out why we adopted this. We do, as always, encourage you to read the documentation available here and also use Developer tools like Firebug/Chrome Developer Tools/Dragonfly that browsers provide to debug.
