NED12 css webdesign hacks image image-replacement text-indent

  • My friend Scott Kellum, design director at Treesaver, has now sent me this refactored code for hiding text, which I hereby christen the Kellum Method: .hide-text { text-indent: 100%; white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden; } Really long strings of text will never flow into the container because they always flow away from the container. Performance is dramatically improved because a 9999px box is not drawn. Noticeably so in animations on the iPad 1.
  • Scott Kellum said on 1 March 2012 at 3:41 pm: I went ahead and created a side by side site to test the performance: http://lab.pgdn.us/hidden-text-performance/ @Ethan, This is the best 43min I have ever spent learning about optimizing the performance of my CSS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuMWhto62Eo
  • Would be interesting to understand both the SEO and accessibility impacts of this approach.

  • Scott Kellum said on 2 March 2012 at 4:06 pm: After much deliberation over here: https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/issues/1005#issuecomment-4293007 Jonathan Neal suggested a method using font: 0/0 serif; and things seem to be settling on this — .ir { font: 0/0 serif; text-shadow: none; color: transparent; }
  • While I think this is certainly and interesting approach, I have some concerns with the accessibility. In some, if not all, cases when overflow: hidden; hides the content of the element this is applied to from screen readers. In most cases where I use image replacement, I still need the text to be accessible (e.g. call to action buttons set in Gotham). See Aaron Gustafson’s A List Apart article, http://www.alistapart.com/articles/now-you-see-me/. Has anyone tested this with a wide battery of screen readers or other accessibility devices?
  • Another note on accessibility: Besides the screen reader problems – people who don’t get images will not see the text too.
  • As a few people said already, this does not solve the accessibility problem that comes with text-indent. Worse, it may send the wrong message: “this is new and cool, use this from now!”. As a leader in the industry, I think you should warn people that even if this is “better” in term of performance, it is still a bad solution. Imo, Image Replacement techniques should be evaluated against the problems they solve/address. Fwiw, I wrote something about these challenges a few years back: http://tjkdesign.com/articles/tip.asp </shameless plug>

  • Proper use and best practices sIFR is a powerful tool. So powerful, in fact, that you can completely ruin a web page with it if you get overzealous and don’t exercise restraint.
  • sIFR is for headlines, pull quotes, and other small swaths of text
  • type which accents the rest of the page. Body copy should remain browser text.

    Optimized dynamic generation of Flash movies bound using javascript to provide rich Font experience regardless of the client. Degrades gracefully. Looks interesting when you just HAVE to have that PERFECT font.

    Note that it is NOT intended for full paragraphs or any type of extended passages. Serves a similar function as Text Images.

  • Writing CSS is very much like having sex. Not everyone does it the same way and there is no particular “right” way to do it. I guess for me the similarities actually end there, seeing as writing CSS is something I do every day whereas having sex is…anyway I digress. The W3C have set the standards but beyond this, writing CSS is down to an individual’s preferences. Here are 5 little tips and ideas I’ve adopted in the last 6 months that you can use to make your CSS more streamlined, maintainable and easy to read. Written by Jon Disclaimer: The CSS example files are exactly that. They are not meant to be fully functional CSS documents. Class names in the CSS files are named merely so that you may visualise the document in your head (because there is no accompanying html), not because I condone the naming convention in them.
  • 1) Make a table of contents At the top of your CSS document, write out a table of contents. For example, you could outline the different areas that your CSS document is styling (header, main, footer etc). Then, use a large, obvious section break to separate the areas. Not only does this make your CSS look neater, but when it comes to making quick adjustments to certain areas of your website at a later date, finding the corresponding area in your CSS will be much easier. View Example File 1
  • 3) Isolate single properties that you are likely to reuse a lot If you find yourself using a single property a lot, isolate it to save yourself repeating it over and over again and also enabling you to change the display of all parts of the site that use it. View Example File 3

    tingelets are a set of bookmarklets that you can place in your browsers bookmark bar. When clicked, they highlight a certain tag or set of tags in a specific color or background tile. They are very handy for quickly looking at web layouts in different browsers. You can either highlight tags directly or type in a tag, id or class name to highlight the matching element(s).

  • One point = 1/72 of an inch One pica = 12 points One em = The distance horizontally equal to the type size, in points, you are using. Eg. 1em of 12pt type is 12pt. (Thanks to Joe for correcting me on this.)
  • A general good rule of thumb is 2-3 alphabets in length, or 52-78 characters (including spaces).
