Human Folly about “CSS”

index

• Line height (developer.mozilla.org):

  #HTML #CSS line-height was defined in a stupid way so that it does the wrong thing if you say something like “1.7em”: it uses the em size of the element that matches the style rule, not the actual font size being used to set the text. So unitless numbers like “1.7” do the right thing (0.7em of leading). Ugh.

• You Dont need JavaScript (github.com):

  You can do a lot of simple interaction stuff purely in #HTML and #CSS now, plus the occasional <label> and <input> to maintain UI state, without using JS. Like, to the point of playable #video-games.
