It’s a generally good thing to know that browser support for browser features isn’t always quite a simple as yes or no. There can be sub-features involved as things evolve that roll out in browsers at different times. View Transitions is an example of that going on right now. There are “Same-Document View Transitions” supported […]
Alex Riviere shares a quick story of a junior developer not looking in the right places for error messaging that would directly help them. … the tools do provide you with information most of the time. You genuinely just need to take a few extra seconds and read what it is saying.
I’m no expert here, but I understand an “MCP server” as a way to make an AI system a bit “smarter” by having more context and capabilities. I find AI coding agents pretty darn smart already particularly when they have your entire codebase and your instruction for context. But if you’re using it to build […]
I’m just hearing about the closedby=”any” attribute/value for <dialog>. HTML popovers have this “light dismiss” behavior where you can “click outside” to close them, but not dialogs (until this).

In A Progressive Enhancement Challenge, I laid out a situation where the hardest thing to do is show a button you never want to show at all if the JavaScript loads and executes properly. I wrote of this state: It seems like the ideal behavior would be “hide the interactive element for a brief period, […]
When you’ve got two buttons with two different looks (and no cursor), how do you know which one you’re about to activate? You’ll need to be careful with the design.
All sorts of inputs have little microphone buttons within them that you can press to talk instead of type. Honestly, I worry my daughter will never learn to type because of them. But I get it from a UX perspective, it’s convenient. We can put those in our web apps, too. Pamela Fox has an […]
Should have done 150.
I liked this bit of JavaScript trivia from Cassidy Williams. There is a clear answer, and it’s something worth making sure you understand before heading into a job interview that involves JavaScript.
Will Mendes has a bit of CSS to highlight accessibility issues on HTML elements. Things like missing alt text and labels that aren’t linked properly to inputs. If you want to try it out quick on a website, I wrapped it in a little injection JavaScript so you could paste it in the console wherever. […]
