Table with Expando Rows
20.9.2019

A Color Picker for Product Images
17.9.2019
Sounds kind of like a hard problem doesn't it? We often don't have product shots in thousands of colors, such that we can flip out the <img src="product-red.jpg" alt="red product"> with <img src="product-blue.jpg" alt="blue product">. Nor do we typically have products in a vector...

As long as I can remember the main source for feature support in HTML email clients is Campaign Monitor's guide. Now there is a new player on the block: caniemail.com.

Where should “Subscribe to Podcast” link to?
14.9.2019
For a while, iTunes was the big dog in podcasting, so if you linked "Subscribe to Podcast" to like:
https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id493890455
...that would make sense. It's a web URL anyway, so it will work for anyone and has information about the podcast, as well as a list of recent shows...

Some HTML is “Optional”

There is a variety of HTML that you can just leave out of the source HTML and it's still valid markup.
Doesn't this look weird?

“Off The Main Thread”
10.9.2019
JavaScript is what they call "single-threaded." As Brian Barbour puts it:
This means it has one call stack and one memory heap.
We all feel a symptom of that regularly in the form of performance jank and non-interactivity on elements or entire sites. If we give JavaScript lots of jobs and it gets...
