28.10.2019
Best I could tell from the last time I compiled the most wished-for features of CSS, styling form controls was a major ask. Top 5, I'd say. And of the native form elements that people want to style, Greg Whitworth has some data that the <select> element is more requested than any other...
The Landscape of Cross-Platform App Development
25.10.2019

Multi-Million Dollar HTML

Two stories:
Jason Grigsby finds Chipotle's online ordering form makes use of an input-masking technique that chops up a credit card expiration year making it invalid and thus denying the order. If pattern="\d\d" maxlength="2" was used instead (native browser feature), the browser is smart enough...

Two Browsers Walked Into a Scrollbar
18.9.2019
Surprise: scrollbars are complicated, especially cross-browser and cross-platform.

Can you rotate the cursor in CSS?
28.8.2019
Kinda! There is no simple or standard way to do it, but it's possible.
