Overview of this book

Tablets, smart phones and even televisions are being used increasingly to view the web. There's never been a greater range of screen sizes and associated user experiences to consider. Web pages built to be responsive provide the best possible version of their content to match the viewing devices of not just today's devices but tomorrow's too.Learn how to design websites according to the new "responsive design"ù methodology, allowing a website to display beautifully on every screen size. Follow along, building and enhancing a responsive web design with HTML5 and CSS3. The book provides a practical understanding of these new technologies and techniques that are set to be the future of front-end web development. Starting with a static Photoshop composite, create a website with HTML5 and CSS3 which is flexible depending on the viewer's screen size.With HTML5, pages are leaner and more semantic. A fluid grid design and CSS3 media queries means designs can flex and adapt for any screen size. Beautiful backgrounds, box-shadows and animations will be added ñ all using the power, simplicity and flexibility of CSS3.Responsive web design with HTML5 and CSS3 provides the necessary knowledge to ensure your projects won't just be built "right" for today but also the future.

Box shadows


Once text-shadows are understood, box-shadows will be a piece of cake. Principally, they follow exactly the same syntax: horizontal offset, vertical offset, blur, and color:

box-shadow: 0px 3px 5px #444444;

However, they aren't as well supported across browsers so it's wise to use vendor prefixes to maximize compatibility. For example:

-ms-box-shadow: 0px 3px 5px #444444;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 3px 5px #444444;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 3px 5px #444444;
box-shadow: 0px 3px 5px #444444;

We'll use this to add a box shadow to the film posters in the sidebar of the AND THE WINNER ISN'T site:

.sideBlock img {
    max-width: 45%;
    box-shadow: 0px 3px 5px #444444;
}

Here's the effect in the browser:

Inset shadow

The box-shadow property can also be used to create an inset shadow—this applies within the targeted element, as opposed to the outside, as a normal box shadow would. It's useful for creating vignette effects for example. Here is the syntax:

box-shadow:inset 0 0 40px #000000;
