Sometimes it seems like accessibility experts and other web professionals hate JavaScript. This might be true for some, but most understand that JavaScript can be useful for improving UX and even accessibility. JavaScript solutions are often more accessible than their pure HTML or CSS counterparts.

Nesting in CSS is coming soon! For me personally not the killer feature, at least compared to cascade layers or container queries, but still exciting. Let’s see how it works.

oklab() and oklch() are okay versions of lab() and lch() because lab() and lch() are not okay.

It’s possible to animate gap, grid-template-columns, and grid-template-rows.

The margin-trim property allows a container element to trim the margins of its children where they adjoin the container’s edges.

The color-mix() function takes two colors and returns the result of mixing them, in a given color space, by a specified amount.

The accent-color CSS property allows us to specify the accent color for user-interface controls generated by an element.

The lch() color function allows you to pick colors from the CIELAB color space, which is device-independant and covers the entire gamut (range) of human color perception.

With the relative color syntax we can modify existing colors using color functions. If an origin color is specified, each color channel can either be directly specified, or taken from the origin color and modified.

I’ve already shown much appreciation for the :has() pseudo-class in this series, but that we can use it as a previous sibling selector tops it all of.
