Designing Next Generation Web Projects with CSS3

Overview of this book

CSS3 unveils new possibilities for frontend web developers: things that would require JavaScript, such as animation and form validation, or even third party plugins, such as 3D transformations, are now accessible using this technology."Designing Next Generation Web Projects with CSS3" contains ten web projects fully developed using cutting edge CSS3 techniques. It also covers time saving implementation tips and tricks as well as fallback, polyfills, and graceful degradation approaches.This book draws a path through CSS3; it starts with projects using well supported features across web browsers and then it moves to more sophisticated techniques such as multi polyfill implementation and creating a zooming user interface with SVG and CSS. React to HTML5 form validation, target CSS rules to specific devices, trigger animations and behavior in response to user interaction, gain confidence with helpful tools like SASS, learn how to deal with old browsers and more."Designing Next Generation Web Projects with CSS3" is a helpful collection of techniques and good practices designed to help the implementation of CSS3 properties and features.

A 3D panorama


Let's also experiment with the rotateY method to complete this project. This time we'll use this property along with the perspective-origin property trick to create a cool panoramic effect.

First of all we need a panorama image, and then we can use an image editor to cut it into three pieces wherein the central image is roughly twice the size of the other two (for example, 800 x 800 px and 500 x 800 px). Once we've finished this, we can then add these images just before the end of the #container selector:

<p>
  Ortigia
  <small>Italy</small>
</p>
<img class="panorama left" src="img/panorama_left.jpg">
<img class="panorama center" src="img/panorama.jpg">
<img class="panorama right" src="img/panorama_right.jpg">

Now we can use the rotateY method for both .left and .right, as follows:

.panorama.left{
  transform-origin: center right;
  transform: rotateY(43deg);  
}
    
.panorama.right{
  transform-origin: center left;
  transform: rotateY...
