Changing The Layout Game

Talkat Front-Trends 2017 · 2017-05-24..05-26· [css, web-platform]
slides:none on file

Shows concrete moves from hacked layouts to modern features with examples: Grid with fr and minmax replaces 60+ lines of framework code with a few declarations; an audit finds an average of 264 media queries across 50 popular sites; component sizing experiments use ResizeObserver setting CSS variables to inject element width/height into CSS (works as a prototype but is experimental and browser-limited). Covers Flexbox wrap and auto-fit, quantity‑query hacks, and embedding a picture inside an SVG to mimic container queries.
