Speaking Sessions

  • Select This! (CSS3 selectors)

    9:45 AM Saturday   Room: 8403
    Pick an element, any element. Style it. No IDs. No classes. No jQuery necessary. We’ll learn all the new features of CSS3 selectors that enable you to select this DOM node, that DOM node, and even imaginary DOM nodes based on attributes, relation to other elements, location in the DOM, or just an element’s mere existence. The possibilities are endless, if you know how to use the tools in your tool box. Today’s tool is CSS3 selectors. If you think you're an old pro at selectors, think again! In this session we'll learn how powerful selectors can be and not just for CSS. Selectors are used in jQuery $('what_did_you_think_went_here') and in native javascript now too with document.querySelectorAll('.selectors_are_fun'). We'll go from basic selectors (i know that) to advanced selectors (what?!?! You can do that with selectors?). So, Select This! Slides at http://estelle.github.com/selectors.
