CSS Grid in Production
summary
Ship-ready CSS Grid replaces an absolute-positioned striped background with a tilted grid container using 5 rows and 10 columns and a skew transform, removing one-pixel gaps and simplifying responsive changes at 1000px by toggling column count. Firefox grid inspector confirms placement; gradients on span elements produce the stripes. Fallbacks use display:contents and a JS loader that checks style.grid before injecting a separate stylesheet. The grid approach proves smaller, more robust, and maintainable in production.
