I've got a neat little project in the works.
It catalogs media and provides an HTML5/CSS3 interface to your media with a series of index.html files it dumps in your media folders.
The problem is CSS and HTML. What the hell happened? If it was confusing before, it's inexplicable now.
I like HTML5 for the most part. The trouble is CSS3. Oh wow. It can do so much, but describing what you want is like pulling your own teeth. It's awful. Who designed this mess? It's time for a rewrite.
Maybe I'm just bad at it, but it's stalling my whole project trying to get simple pages to work with many devices, and lay out accordingly.
Plus I need to pack a bunch of content into a tab-like interface and I really don't want to use JS for this. I figured out a way using radio buttons and display: none
I really wish I had somebody who was a CSS whiz I could work with on this. Meh.

I'm a fan of W3.CSS[^] .
It does two main things:
1. normalizes away a lot of the browser-specific quirks (but not all - I'm looking at you, Safari).
2. provides a bunch of ready make "legos" to lay your page out.
Makes it easy to build responsive pages that are usable on just about any size and shape of screen.

Thanks. I gave up on JS free web pages, and adopted this stylesheet and it got me a lot further.

Meh. This is a "not you" thing.

Features such as flexgrids were added to CSS so that web designers did not have to learn Javascript. Unfortunately, so many features have been stuffed into CSS that it has essentially become a (very clunky) programming language and defeated that goal.
I find it easier to do things in Javascript and I avoid it.

Good job finding the checked hack for hiding/showing divs/sections! I loved the challenge of finding ways to avoid js for ui back when that's what we were doing at work, but nowadays we're all about the js and that's a different sort of fun. I'm always happy when doing the creative work of UI.

As much as I thought it would be horrible and was opposed to using it based on my own programming principles, I'm starting to like Bootstrap for that type of thing. It has lots of available tools to build in complex content and data display.
The biggest plus to me is I don't have to worry about media and, if needed, ADA stuff, anywhere near as much. For lighter content, I use W3-CSS but I'm even finding Bootstrap Studio to be easier on my brain for those.

yes its a bit to get head around css/html, but also I would suggest it might be a mindset, or design approach that might need to step back and think
why so many devices? Focus on the main device, main size and layout first.
and then consider it not in pixels, but percentages of the width or height.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah no.
For one thing if I design for one device only, I have to redesign to support multiple devices.
Also pixels are important, or CSS wouldn't have them.
I really wouldn't be giving out that sort of advice if I were you.

Took the SO to a B&B for her birthday. We don't watch TV at home so having a little free time we watched the TV in the room.
A commercial came up for dudewipes/[^] and my first thought was, seriously!
I thought the Viagra commercials were tasteless.

Yes, I tried it once. And the things were really tasteless

Not sure if this is kid-sister approved, but it needs to be said amongst adults. Let's pretend that's us...
At first I was like, what... dude butt wipes sound cool. But yeah, watched the commercial and it was stupid.
If anyone actually studies real history anymore rather than just play video games and argue, they'd know that at the turn of a decline of a civilization always results in stuff like this with low hanging fruit. Not that I'm anti-freaky time at all because chicks be awesome, but the stupidity of crap like this is just low hanging fruit inspired by a lack of creativity and demoralization. And some may say morals are subjective, and that's true. So in this context, I'll say demoralization against what the majority believes. And sometimes this needs to happen, but IMO not with low hanging, cheap fruit that's inspired by immaturity and no imagination.
It's in the same league as a children's comedy always targeting a dude getting smacked in his special space to illicit a laugh in a "comedy". When you have no originality or story, resort to that, play a laugh track, and immature kids will laugh.
The real problem is, when full-grown adults haven't matured past that of a child. Like we're doing now in society. There's a difference between being a kid at heart and not maturing past the mentality of a child. This is when a society collapses because there's nothing left of substance to actually run it. Anyone who thinks I'm crazy needs to pick up a book for once rather than argue online.
Edit: Just so nobody gets the wrong picture. I also harbor disdain for the uptight folks who get angry all the time over stuff I can't mention, because deep down they're jealous and/or insecure. Yeah, I'm being vague, but it's because it's the lounge. But, my above point was about immaturity and tastelessness and that becoming the norm.

I'd like to answer but it wouldn't even have been fit for Soapbox.
But I totally agree, and that's all I got to say about that.

I do not study real history and do play videogames, but still agree with you.

I think you sometimes are crazy... what should I do now? Pick just a couple of chapters or a bunch of losen pages?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
