Last month I wrote about my thoughts on becoming a better developer and not only. This time, to help you join the best design community, I have two Dribbble invites for you.
Removing an element with the plain JavaScript remove() method
As you might know, the DOM does not supports removing an element directly. When removing an element with JavaScript, you must go to its parent first instead. This was always odd and not so straightforward.
According to DOM level 4 specs, which is the current version in development, there are some new handy mutation methods available: append(), prepend(), before(), after(), replace(), and remove(). In this article we’ll focus a bit on one of the new kids on the block, the plain vanilla JavaScript remove() method.
Thoughts on becoming a better developer
I ask myself this question quite often. What it takes to become a better developer? Not a ninja, guru, master or whatever, but just a better developer. I’m talking about how to improve and learn more every day.
Horizontal centering using CSS fit-content value
The other day I read a good article on horizontal centering by Roger Johansson in where he explains the shrinkwrapping effect. Basically, it’s about one of the most common problems you can find in the wild, namely how to center a navigation bar which contains floated elements with undefined widths.
As we all know, centering this kind of stuff can be quite tricky sometimes. With this common example in mind, Roger made an awesome list with solutions you can apply in order to achieve horizontal centering.
Animenu – a responsive dropdown navigation made with SASS
I’ve been pretty happy lately to see I’m still receiving a lot of positive feedback on my animated dropdown menu. I found that quite encouraging and I decided to start working on an improved version of it using SASS & Compass. The new version is responsive, has no JavaScript dependency and it’s hosted on GitHub too.
