What is CSS3?
CSS3 is the next version of CSS
CSS3 is Modular
Some CSS3 modules are more complete than others
W3C Maturity Levels Working Draft Candidate Recommendation Proposed Recommendation W3C
Recommendation
CSS3 is supported by browsers Some browsers and some (parts
of) modules.
Selectors module W3C Recommendation http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/
h1 {} p {} .thing {} #uniquething {} .thing p
Basic Selectors
The problem with CSS2 selectors
<h1>My heading</h1> <p class=”first”> ... </p> <p> ... </p> Adding
classes
CSS3 Selectors “Common sense” new selectors target elements more precisely
without adding classes
Attribute Selectors Select elements based on attributes
form input[type="text"] { } ! form input[type="submit"] { } Attribute
Selectors
Attribute Selectors
label[for="fContact"] { ! float: none; ! width: auto; } Attribute
Selectors
a[href ^="mailto:"] { padding-right: 20px; ! background-image:url(email.png); ! background-repeat: no-repeat;
! background-position: right center; } Attribute Selectors
Structural pseudo-class selectors
a:link {} a:visited {} Pseudo-Class Selectors
a:hover {} a:active {} Dynamic Pseudo-Class
:first-child target an element when it is the first child
of a parent element
<div class=”wrapper”> <p> ... </p> <p> ... </p> <p> ...
</p> </div> :first-child
:first-child
.wrapper p { ! ! font-size: 1.5em; } :first-child
.wrapper p:first-child { ! ! font-size: 1.5em; } :first-child
:first-child
:last-child target an element when it is the last child
of a parent element
:last-child
.navigation li:last-child { ! ! border-bottom: none; } :last-child
:last-child
:nth-child select multiple elements according to their position in the
document tree
:nth-child
tr:nth-child(odd) td { ! ! background-color: #f0e9c5; } :nth-child
:nth-child
tr:nth-child(3) td { ! ! background-color: #f0e9c5; } :nth-child
:nth-child
tr:nth-child(2n+1) td { ! ! background-color: #f0e9c5; } :nth-child http://reference.sitepoint.com/css/understandingnthchildexpressions
:nth-of-type select multiple elements according to their position in the
document tree BUT only those elements that are the same as the type the rule is applied to.
p:nth-of-type(odd) { ! ! background-color: #f0e9c5; } :nth-of-type
:nth-of-type
:only-child matches an element if it is the only child
element of it’s parent.
li { ! list-style-type: disc; } ! li:only-child { !
list-style-type: none; } :only-child
:only-child
:empty matches an element if it is empty
p { ! padding: 0 0 1em 0; ! margin:
0; } ! p:empty { ! padding: 0; } :empty
For input elements Structural pseudo-classes for use with forms.
:checked the checked state of a checkbox or radio button
.agreeterms:checked { border:2px solid blue; } :checked
enabled and disabled detecting input element states
input:enabled { color: #000; } :enabled
input:disabled { color: #999; } :disabled
The CSS3 Basic User Interface Module http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-ui/ (Working Draft)
:default :valid :invalid :in-range :out-of-range :required :optional :read-only :read-write
<input type="text" name="fName" id="fName" required="required" /> ! ! <input type="email"
name="fEmail" id="fEmail" required="required" placeholder="
[email protected]
" /> HTML5 attributes

red; } :first-letter

.content:before { content: "Start here:"; } :before

Browser Support
Browser Support
Your options
Do Nothing. or serve a simpler layout to older browsers
JavaScript Plug the holes in browser support using JavaScript.
div#wrapper p:first-child, div#wrapper p.first { ! ! font-size: 1.5em; }
jQuery: first-child <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></ script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ ! $("div#wrapper p:first-child").addClass("first"); }); </script>
ul#navigation li:last-child, ul#navigation li.last { ! ! border-bottom: none; }
jQuery: last-child <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></ script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ ! $("ul#navigation li:last-child").addClass("last"); }); </script>
tr:nth-child(odd) td, td.odd { ! background-color: #f0e9c5; } jQuery: nth-child
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></ script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ ! $("tr:nth-child(odd) td").addClass("odd"); }); </script>
CSS “PolyFills” plugging the holes in support
What is a polyfill? A polyfill, or polyfiller, is a
piece of code (or plugin) that provides the technology that you, the developer, expect the browser to provide natively. http://remysharp.com/2010/10/08/what-is-a-polyfill/

Check your stats.

var patch_css = function() { ! ! // supporting css
stuff ! ! ! ! $('input[type=submit]').addClass('submit'); ! ! $('h1+h2').addClass('stacked'); ! ! $('h1+p').addClass('stacked'); ! ! ! }; patch_css
CSS3 Workflow How I approach my projects.
CSS3 Workflow Develop without any polyfill or JavaScript fixes in
place.
CSS3 Workflow Validate.
CSS3 Workflow Test & Fix in older browsers
CSS3 Workflow Decide if you need to use a polyfill
and which kind
CSS3 Workflow Test again.
