October 2, 2018design tips

I saw a little conversation about this the other day and figured it would be fun to look at all the different ways to do it. None of them are particularly tricky, but perhaps you’ll favor one over another for clarity of syntax, efficiency, or otherwise.

Let’s assume we want a border on the bottom, left, and right (but not top) of an element.

Explicitly declare each side
.three-sides {
border-bottom: 2px solid black;
border-right: 2px solid black;

Selectors That Depend on Layout

October 1, 2018design tips

Apply a Filter to a Background Image

October 1, 2018design tips

You can apply a filter to an entire element quite easily with the filter property. But what if you want to apply a filter just to the background of an element? It’s weirdly tricky.

There are CSS properties that specific to backgrounds, like background-blend-mode — but blending and filters are not the same thing. It sorta seems to be the reason we have backdrop-filter, but not quite. That does filtering as the background interacts with what is behind the …
