ADVICE

Width Min-Content Trick

  • For block elements needing content width without losing block attributes, set width to 'min-content'.
  • This maintains clear before/after behavior while shrinking the element to fit its content.
ADVICE

Figure, Figcaption & Fieldset

  • Use figure and figcaption to create self-contained image, code, or diagram blocks with captions.
  • Fieldset groups related form inputs and labels, enabling disabling them all at once.
ADVICE

Buttons vs. Input Submit

  • Use button elements with type="submit" for form submissions, as they offer more styling flexibility than input type submit.
  • Button elements can contain other elements, while input type submit is self-closing.
