Developers continue to do crazy things to show us what can be done with CSS3. The latest is a fully animated Twitter fail whale by Steve Dennis: The idea for this came to me this morning after being greeted first thing this morning by another Twitter outage. I'd been looking for something to stretch my CSS muscles on, and the Fail Whale seemed perfect. Also I think the animation only adds to his (or her?) charm. How was this made? The short answer is very painfully, by hand, using trial and error. Curves are done using various uneven border-radius properties, stranger angles (such as the strings) are masked using containers with overflow: hidden; set on them. I hope someone else gets a bit of enjoyment out of my wasted Sunday. It was a fun experiment that I don't plan on repeating any time soon. Take a look at the source to see the mass of code such as: PLAIN TEXTCSS:@-webkit-keyframes flutter1 {  0%   { -webkit-transform:rotate(0deg) }  50%  { -webkit-transform:rotate(-25deg) }  100% { -webkit-transform:rotate(0deg) }}.right .wing {  background: transparent !important;  z-index: 22 !important;  width: 15px;  height: 18px;  bottom: 4px;  left: 8px;  -webkit-animation: 'flutter1' 0.1s linear;  -webkit-animation-iteration-count: infinite;} 

Web forms. Everybody knows web forms. Each day we have to fill in some information in a web form, be it a simple login to your webmail application, an online purchase, or signing up for a website. They are the basic, and pretty much the only way of gathering information on the web. You basically know a web form when you see one as they always look the same and they've kept this look over the years. Try as hard as you might but web forms can only change their appearance so much. Some may argue that this is a good usability feature, and I tend to agree, but there comes a time when you just need to style web forms so that they look different. How do you do that? Niceforms comes to the rescue! Niceforms is a script that will replace the most commonly used form elements with custom designed ones. You can either use the default theme that is provided or you can even develop your own look with minimal effort.

Chris Coyier discusses the basics of the CSS Box Model: "every element in web design is a rectangular box. This was my ah-ha moment that helped me really start to understand CSS-based web design and accomplish the layouts I wanted to accomplish. We've talked about the positioning of these boxes a bit, and about their behavior." "What we haven't talked about much is the box itself. How is the size of the box calculated exactly? "

"We all know that first impression is the last impression. A company's logo design gives the whole picture of their respective business, thus it should be taken very seriously. One should avoid taking the risk and get their company's logo designed from a professional web designing company known for its exclusive work. A lot of businesses waste their money on their logo design just because they aren't aware of how to get if designed. Always get your logo designed professionally to avoid the disappointment. Owning a quality logo not only represents professionalism but also shows the expert and specialized image of that certain company."

Product page is the most important part of e-commerce web design and you should insert all the necessary elements in it to make your online business profitable. Give the product name, price, buy button and use high resolution images to help the customers take a buying decision. You should also give a brief product summary to the customer to boost your business.

CSS has brought us many capabilities in terms of typography and the web, but we always seem to be limited to the same 4-5 typefaces over and over again. There is an inherant problem, if the font you specify isn't on the viewers computer it won't render in that font. So as designers and developers we end up selecting the ones that we can safely assume is available on most computers today. So most pages use Arial, Helvetica, or Georgia as their typefaces… and the world of the web remains slightly more bland.

Some bright folks also feel the same pain and went ahead and built meta-languages and compilers that take their own version of CSS and compile it to standard CSS code. Their own CSS meta-language is thus able to have new features, like variables, mixins, operations and so on. The most notable of these right now is SASS (part of HAML). I've tried SASS and really liked it, but one thing really bothered me. I didn't like how all the syntax was different to CSS. Sure, it's not CSS anymore, it's SASS, but do we really need to change the syntax of the stuff already present in CSS - why not just expand it? I've asked a friend of mine who is much more competent at programming than me about how long it would take to code a CSS compiler that retained the original CSS syntax but added a bunch of new features. He liked the idea and so we've put together our own version of CSS together with a compiler we call LESS, which stands for Leaner CSS.

Finally Gmail's rich-text editor become more powerful with the addition of the new features in Gmail Labs called Insert Images. The major drawback in Gmail text editor is people can't insert in to the editor. Initially we have to attach the images and this usually displays at the bottom of the mail client as thumbnails.

batch process many images: allows you to send a zip file containing your images. It will returns you your images combined into a sprite, and even better, the CSS code that you'll just have to paste in your main css file. The CSS sprite generator takes a number of source images and combines them into a single "sprite" image and supplies CSS to map to each image within the sprite. The technique this tool employs is often used to improve the performance of a web site by reducing the number of HTTP requests that the client's browser needs to make.

when a browser draws the borders, it draws them at angles. This technique takes advantage of that. One side of the border is colored for the color of the arrow, and the rest are transparent. Then you set the width of the border to something large

"The "sprite" is the single, combined graphic. We can use this same theory, only instead of using background-image to show the graphic, we can use an image right in the HTML itself (inline image)."

Cross-browser compatibility is one of the most time consuming tasks for any web designer. We've seen many different articles over the net describing common problems and fixes.
