Will Boyd covers how there is an infinity value baked into CSS. Never lose a z-index battle again, heh. I enjoyed little tidbits like how you can’t animate to infinity because…
… there are no incremental values on the way to infinity. A fraction of infinity is still infinity. So for every frame of the animation, the animated value is infinity.
I used one of Will’s ideas right after seeing it:
border-radius: calc(infinity * 1px);Code language: CSS (css)This is when want that “pill shaped” button where the corners round as much as they can. You’d think 100% would work there, but that does something very different with border-radius (try it).
