So it turns out you can use writing-mode in Chrome & Firefox to lay out a <select> horizontally 🙃

You can even apply field-sizing: content; to get rid of the empty space!

@leaverou If only styling the select was easier this could be useful, för example for making a toggle switch or a pure css tab-bar

@leaverou Works on FireFox, but not Chrome?

Whoa GitHub Copilot, that got dark fast 😅

@leaverou Yeah but is it, uh, wrong? 😂

I find there is an odd wisdom to it: Make things that survive your absence.

🔥 New blog post!

I recently posted about driving the CSS WG resolution to add if() to CSS last week.
But this is still a long way away. What can we do meanwhile?

In this mammoth article, I rounded up the state of the art right now wrt inline conditionals.

One thing is for sure: after 4000 words of this, no-one could remain unconvinced that we *desperately* need that if()!

Huge thanks to @kizu for his help with unearthing some of these and reviewing a series of drafts!

This is the single best article on color spaces I have seen around. Well written, well informed and illustrated with interactive visualizations.
If you only read one, this should be it. Truly brilliant work @eeeps!

I hate to say “I told you so”, but @svgeesus and I did warn browser vendors that shipping wide gamut support without gamut mapping would render these color spaces almost unusable.

They thought we were exaggerating.
They thought getting out of gamut is an edge case.
They thought clipping was “good enough”.

Well… this is one of these times that I’m really not happy to have been right. 😕

Worse yet, the CSS impls are many folks’ first contact with these color models 😞

@leaverou WTF? I thought the whole reason for oklch/oklab, besides access to a wider gamut, was perceptual uniformity? Just yesterday a told a group of 40 people in a workshop about how great that is compared to HSL and not this?

@leaverou Question as a user: I have Lightroom Classic set to export as Display P3 on the (untested!) assumption that raw could exceed sRGB. Most content in my photos is within the sRGB gamut. With clipping, it seems to me that viewing my photos on an sRGB display is almost always fine (except some 8-bits per channel precision is wasted).

With gamut mapping, wouldn’t all my photos get their gamut squished on an sRGB display just because they declare Display P3 (without fully using it)?
