    A question, since I don't really do JavaScript. I could only get the missing.js to work by putting it in the head element, though I would normally put js at the bottom of the body element. Is this as designed?
  • g
    should work either way...
  • g
    did you add 
    type=module
    ?
  • g
    any error message?
  • g
    we have scripts in the middle of the body on missing.style and they work
  • e
    Well, I can't explain why I was having trouble before. Now the scripts work just fine at the bottom of the body. Sorry for the concern
  • e
    I like this idea
  • s
    Why not 
    <blockquote>
    ?

    A nonimportant question/observation: I've noticed that missing.css buttons do not set the cursor to pointer. So, 
    <button/>
    and 
    <a class="<button>"/>
    are a little different. It's something I've never thought of before: differentiating buttons from anchors-styled-as-buttons. Is there a little theory behind it?

    "pull quotes" are repetitions of portions of the text itself, not taken from other texts
  • g
    ok so i've thought a bit about this. what is essential to understand here is that i forgor

    makes total sense. thanks for the lesson.
  • g
    unfortunately a lot of design and typography terms are significantly older than semantic html

    found this today via @gorgeous-airport-54386 blog, very cool to see this integrated into missing.css

    I suspected as much, but nothing in "block quote" implies you're quoting from elsewhere. A pull quote is literally quoting yourself. That said, I can understand the use of 
    <aside>
    , since a pull quote, by containing text that's already present in the main area, can be thought of as something that doesn't belong in that sequence of content, whereas a quote from elsewhere would. Good call 👍

    you don't need to guess at the names of elements --- you can just look them up :] > The 
    blockquote
    element represents a section that is quoted from another source. https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/grouping-content.html#the-blockquote-element:the-blockquote-element

    Oh cool, TIL 🙂

    Ha, Brilliant. Well now I'm thinking (too much) about it. It has me wondering, if it is clickable, should it be a pointer? I've never paid attention before. So, I opened MS Word and there is not a pointer to be seen. Lots of buttons and other things to interact with, no pointer. I just checked VSCode and everything is a pointer. Buttons, links, toggles, everything. Is this because VSCode is actually just a web app? I dunno. In conclusion, I have no idea what UI theory has to say about this and I doubt there is a "right" way.

    For making a custom theme in missing.css, should I be using the built-in css variables? It didn't occur to me until just now...
  • m
    question for @gorgeous-airport-54386 would it be possible to add a depth variable, and make it possible to add some drop shadows to buttons, tabs, etc based on it?
  • g
    you can if you want to. i originally put them in because i couldn't be bothered to make them be compiled out
  • g
    they are undocumented so...
  • g
    it's actually https://github.com/fchristant/colar that is in missing.css
  • b
    @gorgeous-airport-54386, are there no visual differences between enabled and disabled buttons?
  • g
    ...maybe
  • g
    would you like to fix that?
  • b
    I can try 🙂
  • g
    the releavnt code is in src/main.css
