Turned out to be 116 amazing slides #CSSDay

@CSSDayConf @csswizardry With these principles, is there a risk of offloading complexity from CSS to other places like JS or HTML?

I’ve had my share of conferences, but so far missed out on having an a11y expert on stage @LeonieWatson #finally #CSSDay

Best bug ever. #a11y Firefox flex-box tab order #CSSDay

Léonie Watson explaining that Firefox treats the CSS order property not in the same way as other browsers.

In case you meet your #web hero, say “Hi!” #CSSDay

Yours truly together with web legend Jeremy Keith. While I’ve seen him at other conferences before, this time I actually talked to him.

@cssdayconf @svgeesus why not use: .foo { color: #f60; color: lab(…) } for fallback? #CSSDay

Chris Lilley wrote on June 17, 2016 at 14:21

In reply to: @CSSence.

@CSSDayConf we went back and forth on how to do fallback. In SVG 1 the fallback was first; people find it confusing

Chris Lilley wrote on June 17, 2016 at 14:23

Continued from previous comment.

We wanted to have fallback color specifiable in the same rule, but you could do that.

Matthias Beitl wrote on June 17, 2016 at 14:34

In reply to: @svgeesus.

Thx! And both ways would behave identically in case the color profile has not been loaded yet?

Chris Lilley wrote on June 17, 2016 at 14:40

In reply to: @CSSence.

if it has not loaded you would get the fallback color.
