My recent failure to build a responsive website according to a template tells me I should have worked with CSS a bit more.
The thing is, I write the type of CSS that passes the CSS validation with flying colors, but doesn't work as it should. Am I a minority(I hate that word), in that?
Now I have to redo the website or I'm not passing the exam. Lovely.5 -

I remember last year in school one of my teachers had us make a little web page with HTML and CSS. She was confused when I was using an external CSS stylesheet. She thought all the CSS had to be in a style tag inside of the index.html file...6

The idea was simple. Create a div.
Add two 50% div's inside. Float them. Add clearfix to parent.
Everything was fine.
Noticed that one of the childs had a height bigger than the other. But due to an adaptive design, setting static heights did not work.
Simple fix. Add a height to parent div and set overflow-y to hidden.
It didn't work.
Tried using the legendary !Important (a.k.a. not important but important.) Didn't work. Set position to relative, set static height. Set the childs to absolute position with height 100%. Problem solved.
No. It. Didn't. Fucking. Work.
Tried every possible css combination could could fucking think off.
After 15 minutes (8 hours in dev-stress mode) realized the clearfix changed the div DISPLAY TO FUCKING TABLE. A TABLE. FUCKING TABLES CANT HAVE FUCKING HEIGHTS FUCK.
Anyway. 6 years after my first clearfix. I learnt something new about the code that saves my life every project.6 -

CSS quick maffs:
Using viewport units to define font size but sometimes it's too small?
Instead of font-size: 10vw;
use font-size: calc(10vw + 20px);
This will make sure that font size is AT LEAST 20 px no matter the viewport width. Treat the resulting font size like a function of viewport width and feel free to experiment with it. With calc in that case you can achieve the best typeface responsiveness possible.13 -
Starting to do some work in the front end. I find it incredibly stupid that something like centering in CSS is so darn complicated that someone had to make an online tool for it. It's pretty awesome btw: http://howtocenterincss.com4

I'm not going to have a lot of new friends here but I am fed up with all those guys complaining about CSS on devRant.
CSS is damn easy. Get over it. Take some lessons, learn it the right way and shut your mouth.
I'd prefer you share your enlighten opinion on CSS in JS with React Native or CSS compositing with ReactJS which are both huge pain in the ass.
Plain CSS isn't the cause of all your pain. You are.11 -

Every time you use an unnecessary !important in css code, God kills a cat :(
Please don't use !important if it's not necessary.5 -
I've worked on dozens of projects now and I have tried using several CSS frameworks. Every time I experienced using a framework much more of a hustle than using custom CSS for the design. If your design gets a little bit more complex or unusual you will spent hours on fixes.
For me the times of frameworks in CSS have passed.
Tough I kinda like Vuetify, but then I haven't used it on big projects yet.7 -

Okay I just wasted 1h of my lifetime trying to fix a css bug which was caused because the actual classname was 'itemWrapper' instead of 'item-wrapper'. I might just kill myself at this point. I swear to fucking god I end up calling a suicide prevention hotline everytime I have to do shit in css.3

Without CSS, all websites are perfectly responsive and look great on any device or screen size. We break them with CSS, then need to fix them... ponder that a bit.

I worked with many different languages through my programming journey. With C#, JavaScript and Clojure I worked professionally, was hired to either teach them or write in them, I earned money that way. I also did architecture, databases shit, devops and occasional basic cybersec.
Now I do frontend. I'm a very sloppy and clumsy programmer when it comes to anything that isn't CSS. But when it comes to CSS I'm the ninja, I'm the absolute killer. I go very hard on CSS, I did my very best to know it inside and out. I chose CSS to be my scalpel language, my expertise.
Terrible choice isn't it? I don't think so. Because of my CSS my websites require only a minuscule amount of JS, and JS also more prone to bugs than CSS. So 1000 lines of CSS can never cause a runtime error but even 1 line of JS can.
Client-side pseudo-routing, pseudo-random patterns, persistent state, all-declarative custom data attributes that'll translate into UI, linting and many more – I can do it all in CSS only.
In CSS the order of properties doesn't matter. In CSS you can't write bugs, they are merely glitches that are easily fixable. In CSS you can't cause a runtime error. CSS is very fast (thanks browser optimizations) and powerful yet invulnerable without JS, there is no eval(). CSS never disappointed me. It's declarative, it just does what I tell it to do, nothing more and nothing less.
I'm now at the point where I can do responsiveness without media queries and dark modes without JS, I also lint my webpages' accessibility with CSS only and no JS linter.
CS background + one language that you know at the prodigy level = you're almighty.
Bonus quick CSS maffs – quit using transition: all. https://codepen.io/uyouthe/pen/...6 -

CSS! after days thinking about this and using chrome dev tools to find the magic numbers ( thank arrow keys) i finally made this thing responsive. The magic is in 53px. Thanks to javascript i also did what seemed almost impossible for me in CSS. Phew!!!

I don't really find any use of css framework for a website. One can primary use vanilla CSS for coloring buttons, navbar, responsiveness, etc. What do u guys think?
Tbh, I've only used bootstrap and didn't find any special thing about it.9 -
I thought I had a decent handle on CSS. I can use flexbox and grid to make some decent and responsive webpages, and I'm at least familiar with most of CSS's more common gotchas
But no.
Even in 2021, with years of improvement in the language and browser compatibility, CSS can still fuck you over
I was adding some margin to a div element, and I noticed that the div element's margin seemed to force it's parent to move down too, as if the margin was applied to the parent as well
It took far too many nearly nonsensical google searches to discover that CSS has a nasty little trick called 'margin collapse'
And in true CSS fashion, the way to fix it is a hacky workaround. In this case, if you add a padding of 1px to the parent, the margin collapse doesn't apply.
Fuck CSS. From its weird implementation to its hundreds of gotchas to its hacky workarounds to said gotchas.
Fuck CSS2 -
Using the company's framework that override all your CSS with its own. Trying !important doesn't work too, so so looked up what was going on.
The CSS generated already used ! important. Welp.3 -

Have huge argument with my client on Skype about some CSS fix on client site. I believe i already fix it and can see it on my desktop, but client insist he can't see any different. At the end, i realize that i fix on my local and we both laugh at it. Just kidding, he never contact me again after the project.2

It is surprisingly difficult to make two things equally high in css (without putting height in pixels). Like two columns of a parent div. You can't use "height: 100%;" out of the box like you can with width.
Why though? I understand that height is more difficult that width. But the parent element has a height. Not by me, but the browser figures it out. So why can't something inside it be 100 % of it. Beats me.
Well at least it works now. -
i fuckign hate css and never was taught how to read that shit, guess i should learn
or just cobble something passable together and hope i never need do heavy css nonsense again4 -
Today I fought against a monster named as CSS and I sort of won.
I am having a problem in that the grid layout don't work with the scroll bar (overflow)
After hours of trying thing out I remember that I am just creating the prove of concept that the system can actually be build.
I said "Hey this is just a prototype, it doesn't need to be pixel perfect, and finally use height in css".
I really appreciate it if anyone can advise me on less dirty method. Here is the source code
https://jsfiddle.net/rc0f9t5j/
The input box should stay at the button no matter how much text the container have. The fiddle have the intended behavior.4 -
The dude that told us to use BEM is the same one that set up CSS bundle limits. Of course 10k isn't enough when all our classes are called big-button-right__small-thingy-over-there--bit-on-the-left and have styling in a dozen files.3

CSS is truly full of surprises.
Let's say you have a simple HTML:
<div class="with-background">
<div class="content with-margin"></div>
</div>
Now, to ensure that margin of the internal element won't "fall out" of the background, you might add padding: 0.1px to the wrapper. But, here's a fun fact: adding 0.01px still works fine, but 0.001px does not.
For my browser the cut-off seems to be somewhere around .008333332371px4 -
The BPOS client gave us a job to help develop a site. Another vendor is doing the development and we're doing the CSS. The other vendor keeps messing with the CSS and the client keeps coming back to us to fix the issue. The problem is that the other vendor is managing the CSS and has minified it. Now I have to figure it out,somehow.2

Does anyone else notice a delay between updating the CSS for a page and it actually taking effect?5

CSS, I particularly don't hate it but i don't love it either. As a React developer I love JS but I don't really like CSS based UI development i mean it's not bad but just level of satisfaction i get with a running logical thing in JS vs creating some UI stuff with CSS does varies. So I want to improve my CSS skills. Anyway can anyone suggest in what topic order I should learn CSS, I can do some basic stuff with flexbox and sometimes with grid but I think I lack some essential concepts.

Dammit! CSS is such a huge pain in the ass. I just want to use a <style> tag inline with a class to control margin positioning of one friggin’ image. (Yes, I know it’s better in a CSS file but this is a temp fix that will be reverted soon.)
<style>
.30-day-seal {
margin-top: -27.5em;
margin-left: 39.5625em;
}
</style>
<img class=“30-day-seal” src=/path/to/img.png”/>
Nothing happens. Only if I use a style=“” attribute directly in the img tag.
I’ve even tried:
<style>
img.30-day-seal {
margin-top: -27.5em;
margin-left: 39.5625em;
}
</style>
And
<style>
.30-day-seal img {
margin-top: -27.5em;
margin-left: 39.5625em;
}
</style>
And even
<style>
img .30-day-seal {
margin-top: -27.5em;
margin-left: 39.5625em;
}
</style>
Why do I suck so bad at this?! Still!?6 -
CSS and libraries doesn't mix. Something about the lack of scoping and the unintended side effects that happen from using two different libraries that add inline style via JS. I'm looking at you, position!!!!12
-
We all know that writing your own css is easy.
Then we just try to pick up other's code and continue with their style...
It's taking so much time, I guess it's about collaboration now not only trying to figure it out alone .. -

What are some features that you would like to see in a css framework, that are currently not present in frameworks like bootstrap, foundation, etc?2
