At the beginning of the year I thought it may be fun to tweet about a CSS property for 100 days in a row. Before I started I wasn't really sure if there are even so many different CSS properties, but I soon realized there are much more, especially if you count all the long-hand properties as separate properties. Or did you know that there are 61 properties starting with border?
I have to say I learned quite a lot about CSS the last 100 days, many of the properties I have never used before or even never heard before. It is pretty incredible how CSS involved over all the years. I also have to say that it is fantastic to have MDN as a reference available. You can learn so much by looking things up there.
So, without further ado here is the full list of properties I tweeted about.
Day 1: outline:
— Michael Scharnagl (@justmarkup)
- Shorthand for outline-style, outline-width, and outline-color
- Doesn't take up space, unlike border
- All sides same style, no eg. outline-bottom
ℹ️ Never set outline: none; unless you provide alternative styles.
