what the fuck am I even looking at? Css is to make styles not cure cancer
Interestingly, focus states are used in accessibility. So while this code isn’t to cure cancer, it likely does improve the lives of those with different needs.
bingo, i made this meme while doing accessibility improvements at work
it’s starting to make sense, what exactly does the meme want me to do about focus states so it can be read properly by screen reader software/used by keyboard navigation?
CSS has a pseudo-class, :focus-visible, that matches when an element is focused using keyboard navigation. It also has :focus-within, which matches when the current focused element is the selected element or one of its descendents. However, this applies not only for keyboard navigation but also mouse and tap focus. A pseudo-class that combines the two, :focus-visible-within, would be useful, but does not currently exist. Here’s an article about it: https://larsmagnus.co/blog/focus-visible-within-the-missing-pseudo-class
The code in the meme implements the logic of :focus-visible-within using the new :has() functional pseudo-class, and has a snippet of fallback behavior for slightly older browsers
thanks for the explaination!
That’s wizards c
hess
I miss when CSS was tables. Now I don’t even recognize it with variables and compilers.
It’s so much more fun now though! Things like grid layout and flex box have really changed the game. Also idk if you were saying otherwise but this has no variables and is vanilla CSS
I do like flex layout, it’s very cool!
I’ve been out of the css game for a while though, so now I’m totally lost
Now try that but inline! Tailwind gang, where you at
I have not used tailwind personally and I’m a fan of keeping the markup simple but to each their own
I suggest trying it out in a project first to get a good idea of why it’s so popular
