As CSS is becoming more dominant, there are many opportunities developers and designers can use to create engaging and browser-compatible
websites (https://www.lambdatest.com/blog/complete-guide-on-creating-browser-compatible-html-and-css/).

are frequently in use by developers and designers that make it simpler to add visual elements like forms, buttons, panels, breadcrumbs, etc., and
implement functions. It simplifies the process of creating websites. Regardless of the browser versions, these websites will work efficiently. As a
result, there will be less chance of coding errors during cross browser testing (https://www.lambdatest.com/online-browser-testing).
The availability of ready-made style sheet frameworks substantially speeds up project implementation and simplifies web development. Users may
accomplish the required activities by spending little time studying and immersing themselves in CSS code.
Another benefit is the ability to create a user interface that is both user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing, with the flexibility to change it during
project updates without having to start from scratch.
While taking care of the responsive design (https://www.lambdatest.com/learning-hub/responsive-design), you need to ensure the grid is
responsive. Responsive CSS grid (https://www.lambdatest.com/blog/css-grid/) is one of the best CSS tricks and tips that offer different ways
of creating a customizable grid, irrespective of the device. The most reliable thing is that the CSS grid operates with equal or unequal column sizes.

After making the CSS grid responsive, test it for responsiveness. For that, you can leverage LT Browser 2.0, a Chromium-based mobile-friendly
tester (https://www.lambdatest.com/mobile-friendly-tester), to test your CSS grid’s responsiveness to ensure it is automatically adjusted to
different device viewports.
With LT Browser 2.0, you can try the responsiveness of the CSS grid across 50+ pre-installed devices like mobiles, tablets, desktops, and laptops
and leverage some of its features like side-by-side comparison, generate performance reports powered by Google Lighthouse, get JavaScript error
reports, etc.
With this tutorial, you will get a comprehensive overview of the features and functionalities of LT Browser 2.0, a next-gen browser to build, test &
debug mobile websites.

There are very few CSS tricks available to vertically center elements in CSS. It has been a pain point for many developers. Vertically aligned with
CSS Flexbox (https://www.lambdatest.com/blog/css-flexbox-tutorial/) is one of the best CSS tricks by which developers can align
effortlessly with the align-items, align-self, and justify-content properties.

SVGs means Scalable Vector Graphics, an XML-based image format for vector graphics on the web. Using SVGs is one of the advanced CSS tricks
that offers benefits over PNGs images like higher resolution, faster speed, and better animation quality.
As SVGs are supported by all new browsers and scale across all resolutions, it’s recommended not to incorporate .jpg or .gif images for icons and
logos.

4. Masking
Let’s say you want to use an image but only want to show certain parts of it. You can achieve this using the mask-image property. CSS masking is
among the advanced CSS tricks that allow you to define a mask shape applied to the image. Anything that appears outside the mask shape is cut
out, and the rest is presented. It works pretty much the same as masking in Photoshop.
Anything 100% black in the image mask will be displayed entirely, whereas anything 100% transparent will be completely hidden, and anything in-
1 #masked{
2 -webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 5%, black 75%);
3 mask-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 5%, black 75%);

The left side is the image’s original image, and the right side is a masked image with a linear-gradient.

3 mask-image: radial-gradient(ellipse 20% 90% at 27% 50%, black 40%, transparent 50%);
In the below image, the left side is the original image, and the right side is a masked image with radial-gradient.

5. Shape Outside
Shape-outside is a CSS trick that lets you change the shape of the items wrapped around it instead of being restricted to a rectangular box.
The shape-outside property allows shaping the content to fit the image. It takes a basic shape and applies a shape function to the item. This
Syntax:
1 shape-outside: values;

7. Scroll Snapping
x or y.
Syntax:
In the above syntax, ‘mandatory’ means the browser has to snap to a snap point whenever the user stops scrolling. The proximity is less strict. It
allows the browser to a snap point if it seems appropriate.
Example:
1 .y-scrolling {
2 scroll-snap-type: y mandatory;
3 }
The above example shows scroll-snap-type along the Y-axis with mandatory value.
Code:
1 <!DOCTYPE html>
2 <html lang="en-US">
3 <head>
4 <title>Scroll-snap-type</title>

Initial letter is a CSS trick that selects the first letter of the paragraph and mentions the number of lines occupied by the letter. Usually, it is used to
grab the attention of print media and information sites, news sites, where the first letter of the paragraph is much larger or higher than the rest of the
content.
The initial-letter CSS property spontaneously adjusts the number of lines needed to create the stylized drop and the font size.
< number >: refers to the number of lines the letter uses not to accept negative values.
Normal: it is useful only if you want to reset the value if it could be inherited from the cascade and no scaling effect is applied to
the initial letter.
< integer >: determines how many lines should sink when the letter size is preset. The values must be greater than zero; if the
value is not specified, the size value is duplicated and floored to the nearest positive whole number.

Logical Properties and Values is a CSS trick and technique that brings in logical properties and values that help make it possible to manage the look
through logical directions and dimension mappings. Logical properties and values use terms such as “block” and “inline” to express the direction in
which they flow.
The Logical Properties and Values specification identifies mappings for physical values in their logical relations.
The inline dimension is defined along a text line and is written in the type of writing used. So, in any English file, the narrative is horizontal. From left
to right, in an Arabic document, writing is also horizontal but from right to left. If we consider a Japanese file, the inline dimension is now vertical,
and the writing mode runs vertically.

in addition to the direct children of a grid, the container becomes a grid item, and we will be able to create a grid on a grid item and have it use the
column and row paths of the parent. For example, you could create a multiple-column grid for your page and use that to line up items nested in the
markup.
Syntax:
1 .grid
2 {
3 display: grid; grid-template-columns: 1fr 2fr 1fr 2fr; }
4 .item { grid-column: 2 / 5; display: grid; grid-template-columns: subgrid;
5 }
In the above CSS syntax, the parent element is set to display: grid, which means there is a four-column grid. The child item with a class of items is
placed on the grid from column line 2 to column line 5, which means it occupies three tracks of the parent grid.
Using the value subgrid in place of a tracklisting for grid-template-columns on the child item, we tell its grid to use the tracks from the parent.
Therefore, any child of an item will use the sizing of column tracks as defined on the parent grid.
Code:
1 <div class="wrapper">
2 <div class="box a">A</div>
3 <div class="box b">B</div>

CSS has even created a method to test its browser support of CSS (https://www.lambdatest.com/blog/detailed-guide-to-css-supports-
in-browsers/) features with Feature Queries. A Feature Query is a CSS trick that usually acts the same way as a Media Query, except for a few
things like instead of asking the browser something related to the device being used to view the site.
A Feature Query questions the browser if it supports a particular CSS feature. Thereby making it easier to use new features in a better, increasingly
enhanced way.
Let’s evaluate the browser compatibility for CSS feature queries on different desktop and mobile browsers.
In the below screenshots, we will implement different CSS properties over the Netlify platform and try to access them on other browsers.

CSS background is one of the most used advanced CSS tricks; however very rarely used by developers. Using multiple backgrounds still needs to be
well-known among all developers.
The background-repeat property sets how a background image will be repeated. It is used in conjunction with the background-image property. We
can repeat the background image along the horizontal axis or vertical axis or not repeat it at all.
Syntax:
1 background-repeat: value;

repeat-y The background image will be repeated vertically only.
space The background image will be repeated as many times as it will fit, but it is not clipped.
round The background image will stretch or shrink to avoid clipping and to remove gaps.
CSS Example:
1 body {
2 background-image: url("images.png");
3 background-repeat: repeat;
4 }
Code:
1 <!DOCTYPE html>
2 <html lang="en-US">
3 <head>
4 <title>background-repeat property</title>
5 <link href="repeatCase.css" rel="stylesheet">
6 </head>
7 <body>
8 <h2>background-repeat: repeat; </h2>
9 <div id="repeat"></div>
10
11 <h2>background-repeat: repeat-x;</h2>
12 <div id="repeat-x"></div>
13
14 <h2>background-repeat: repeat-y;</h2>
15 <div id="repeat-y"></div>
16
17 <h2>background-repeat: space;</h2>
18 <div id="space"></div>
19
20 <h2>background-repeat: round;</h2>
21 <div id="round"></div>
22
23 <h2>background-repeat: no-repeat;</h2>
24 <div id="no-repeat"></div>
25
26 <h2>background-repeat: initial;</h2>
27 <div id=""></div>

With CSS Gradients, you can create gradients in HTML/CSS, resulting in fewer resources, faster loading times, and a better user experience.
Syntax:
1 body{
2 margin: 0;
3 padding: 0;
4 height: 100vh;
5 background-image: linear-gradient(-225deg,#3498db 0,#9b59b6 29%,#e74c3c 67%,#f1c40f 100%);
6 background-size: 500% 500%;
7 animation: bg 8s linear infinite;
8 }
9 @keyframes bg {
10 50%{
11 background-position: 100% 100%;
12 }
13 }
Example:

Syntax
1 .truncate {
2 width: 250px;
3 white-space: nowrap;
4 overflow: hidden;
5 text-overflow: ellipsis;
6 }
The above .truncate class defines a fixed width and prevents the text from overflowing the container. Further, the text-overflow: ellipsis;
automatically adds an ellipsis at the end of the text to indicate that it has been truncated.
Output:
EDIT ON

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Concentrate on maintaining efficient organization in your CSS to enhance your website. To make it simpler to understand
and update, use comments and put relevant styles together.
2. To further increase structure and effectiveness, think about utilizing a CSS preprocessor like SASS or LESS. Use CSS
