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.

For this project we want to introduce rem, a measurement unit that is almost equivalent to em, but is always relative to the root element of the page. So, basically we can define a font size on the html element and then all the sizes will be related to it:

html{
  font-size: 20px;
}

Now, 1rem corresponds to 20px; the problem of this measurement is that some browsers, such as Internet Explorer version 8 or less, don't actually support it. To find a way around this problem, we can use the following two different fallback measurement units:

  • em: The good news is that em, if perfectly tuned, works exactly as rem; the bad news is that this measurement unit is relative to the element's font-size property and is not relative to html. So, if we decide to pursue this method, we then have to take extra care every time we deal with font-size.

  • px: We can use a fixed unit pixel size. The downside of this choice is that in older browsers, we're complicating the ability to dynamically change the...
