Guess what you'll find at clickclickclick.click. I can't help it; I just love people who put out silly things on silly domains. ❤️

Here's a quick party trick: did you know that you can use Intl to format numeric values with their units?

Yes, I'm fun at parties... 🫣

Well, that's what I call yet another fancy personal website. 👏

Bramus is working on new ways to make view transitions easier to handle in an MPA scenario. This is in its very early stages, but look at this funky CSS.

He's looking for feedback, too!

Here's a good explainer on the containertiming attribute, currently running as a Chrome Origin trial. If you're not knee-deep into perf topics, this post includes more than one rabbit hole to jump into.

I've heard about the text-scale meta element but the preferred-text-scale CSS env var was news to me. 🫣

Josh was involved in the spec and shares how a particular BBC problem led to this new font size approach.

We're not entirely there yet in terms of browser support, but the new closedby property on the dialog element is already in Safari TP, so it's about time to look into it.

Chrome 150 shipped the new text-fit property. There are no real MDN docs, and the spec would be the best we've got if it weren't for Krijn, who documented all the options with visual examples.

How could you stack on top of an element with the highest possible z-index (2147483647)? Correct! You use CSS infinity to get on top of the highest stack.

Adam lists some more creative infinity use cases.

With Chrome 151, soft navigations entered the mainstream. If you haven't heard the term, a soft navigation is anything that:

- is initiated by a user action
- results in a visible URL change
- results in a visible paint

The "Await dictionary of Promises" ECMAScript proposal moved to stage three so that we'll finally be able to await objects. Can't wait!

The State of Devs survey is open for participation.

There's a lot of uncertainty and, frankly, occasionally I'm navigating a full-blown identity crisis. I'm very curious about whether I'm alone with these feelings and how bad the majority really feels...

And the new Web Weekly is about to hit all the inboxes. 🫣

This time it includes CSS `infinity`, the `closedby` attribute, measuring soft navigations, and recent ECMAScript updates.

Enjoy!

That's quite a journey to "improve" the sizing behavior of customizable selects (Chromium-only so far). Jake gets into anchor positioning, `stretch` and `fit-content`, and `calc-size`.

If you're dealing with SVG icons you probably know the pain of overwriting colors. There's a new spec in the making that allows controlling CSS variables from "the outside". And it's shipping in Firefox already!

FYI, Chrome ships a new `usermedia` element.

There's an unfortunate disconnect between `color-scheme` and the `prefers-color-scheme` media query. This tripped me up multiple times. So what do you do about it? Ollie's post has some web platform answers.

Heads up! The new `QUERY` HTTP method moved from `draft` to `proposed standard`. Protocol changes don't happen very often.

I'm still wondering about anchor positioning use cases beyond the tooltip example. Emil explains how multiple anchors help out with creating clickable card overlays. Fancy stuff!
