figured out a nice way to do recolorable glyph icons without resorting to a font or inline SVG data:
single icon sheet
set col/row vars to add icons
use inline with `<span class="icon icon-mail"></span>`
recolor with `background-color` anywhere in the stylesheet
Plain Vanilla - an explainer for web development using only vanilla techniques. No tools, no frameworks — just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
I have so much mixed feeling about #react. In one hand, I like #jsx. I mean, I really don't like #JavaScript but I like the idea to integrate #HTML and #css so they can be syntax checked instead of a big hard to read string. On the other hand your site is now coming with scripts even if it's just a simple form that could be coded in plane HTML. I learned react to help getting jobs but if it was my own website, I would use something else. I started to check #flutter. I like the idea of having one code that can generate websites, desktop apps and phone apps.
Screen reader HTML support tables

CSS Tip!
Because the new sibling-*() functions are verbose and sibling-index() is 1-indexed, I wrote my own functions!

#writers, #blog aficionados, #web enjoyers, #website browsers: lend me your ears! i need help with a big push to get the word out about #writing for GOOD INTERNET magazine's autumn issue! a digital AND physical magazine that ships all over the world, run & contributed to by volunteers! (
)
in case you're unaware, GOOD INTERNET covers a lot of different aspects of the #SmallWeb: unplugging from the corporate web, fighting #enshittification, migrating from data-harvesting corpo social media, creating your own personal website, using code and website-building as an art form, federation, and creating websites for fun. the aim is to be approachable for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned #indieweb travelers!
you don't have to be a professional #webdev or a #coding smartypants to write about all the good things happening on "this side" of the web. the idea here is to spread the word about and share thoughts, independent web projects, services, methods, sites, meet-ups, and celebrate the non-corporate web together while making it easier for us to partake and unplug from #bigtech.
looking for 1,000- to 4,000-word articles aimed at website owners and hobbyists, digital (and traditional) #artists, #internet culture enthusiasts, #technology nerds, #socialmedia expatriates, & anyone who wants to unplug from the corporate-owned #web.
the deadline is AUGUST 22, 2025

Are you *really* writing “modern” #HTML if you aren’t using a metric shit ton of <div> tags?
Are you*really* writing “modern” #CSS if you don’t have a class name attribute list longer than your arm?
Are you *really* writing “modern” #JavaScript if you aren’t using React or NextJS and delivering the equivalent of 7 copies of Doom byte count wise for a static home page?

En fait, posé de façon concrète, est qu'il y a une des deux solutions qui est meilleure dans le lien ci dessous en terme d'#UX, de #A11Y (accessibilité), voir de support / compatiblité navigateurs selon les supports (surtout mobiles).
https://codepen.io/nicod_/pen/gbpVrmd
Le boost rend le web plus utilisable.
Question #HTML, qui concerne aussi #UX #a11y et support navigateur.
Vaut il mieux utiliser un <input type="datetime-local"> ou bien deux champs séparés <input type="date"> <input type="time"> ?
Je cherche des infos là dessus mais je n'avance guère.
MDN annonce un faible support pour datetime-local et des variations dans ses implémentations (juillet 2019) et préconise de séparer les champs.
Quid en 2025 ?

It's been years, many years, actually, since I last built a site with HTML. Recently, I've been wanting to end my participation in the larger web and start contributing to a smaller web. A web that was full of creative people, building cool and fun sites, and sharing information. Not the web of today that is full of companies pumping ads at us, forcing us to use ad blockers to keep us safe, or the companies scraping the web to build their AI models. The web of today is terrible, bloated, and not what the internet was originally created for.
I've deleted my personal and freelance/consulting sites, both built on bloated WordPress, and I have been reintroducing myself to HTML and CSS so I can rebuild my sites. I've been having so much fun. To do this, I've joined https://bearblog.dev for my personal site/blog, and https://neocities.org as a practice space for working on my HTML and CSS. Both are brilliant, and to support both, it's really affordable.
To start my journey of reintroducing myself to HTML and CSS, I read (multiple times) @bw's online book, "HTML for People". You can find it at https://htmlforpeople.com/. And if you enjoy reading it, throw a bit of money Blake's way for all of the hard work.
Anyway, I'll get off my soapbox about the bloated web of today and get back to learning HTML and CSS. My personal site is still a bit crap, but I'm working on it! 
#html #css #smallweb #bloatedweb
YouTube is now recommending me a bunch of videos of people making their own cute little HTML websites, usually on Neocities or what they are calling The Indie Web and its giving me hope.
I knew this was a thing, and I knew people are still making websites like this, but it's really fun to see people encouraging people to do the same or making tutorials on YouTube.

Search engines are failing me. Is there a preferred way to mark up a shopping cart page for accessibility? A list, a table, something else?
Always fun to read #hackerNews and their rather ... let's call it ... qualitatively exceedingly disappointing mentality towards #accessibility (stroopwafel to the dutchies who see what i did there). But some points do make me think to what degree, say, #screenReaders could be innovating more.
One thing that stuck by me was a comment on an article regarding the use of "click here" that basically suggested some kind of heuristic for, say, reading the entire line of text when that's encountered, rather than the link text. Another one could be including the previous sibling's accessible name on unlabeled form fields which I ...think? JAWS might already be doing?
Like obviously these should be toggleable to not screw up audits but I think after 30 years we can safely say people often can't be forked to learn #HTML basics and it might make some things smoother?
I have really been enjoying learning HTML and CSS. Working on rebuilding my personal site and moving away from WordPress. It's been quite a few years since I last used HTML in any serious way and I still have a bit to learn and master.
A few folks have mentioned HTMX so I am going to start looking into this next.

One thing I want from #GitHub.
