Using such a resolution in the web browser would render a tiny illegible desktop site. To avoid that, CSS pixels add a layer of abstraction. Initially the amount of actual pixels compared to CSS pixels was simply a 2x or 3x conversion, but these days fractional scaling is also common.

Potentially Coming to a Browser :near() You | CSS-Tricks

By how much? Well, that would depend on the value of the <length> argument provided. Thomas Walichiewicz, who proposed :near(), suggests that it works like this: button:near(3rem) { /* Pointer is within 3rem of the button */ } For those wondering, yes, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to measure the straight-line distance between two elements using JavaScript ("Euclidean distance" is the mathematical term), so I imagine that's what would be used behind the scenes here.

Unstacking CSS Stacking Contexts - Smashing Magazine

Stacking contexts are incredibly useful, but they're also widely misunderstood and often mistakenly created, leading to a slew of layout issues that can be tricky to solve. Have you ever set z-index: 99999 on an element in your CSS, and it doesn't come out on top of other elements? A value that large should easily place that element visually on top of anything else, assuming all the different elements are set at either a lower value or not set at all.

What's !important #4: Videos & View Transitions, Named Media Queries, How Browsers Work, and More | CSS-Tricks

Chris Coyier demonstrates how to maintain a video's state across different pages using CSS view transitions. He notes that this is fairly easy to do with same-page view transitions, but with multi-page view transitions you'll need to leverage JavaScript's pageswap event to save information about the video's state in sessionStorage as a JSON string (works with audio and iframes too), and then use that information to restore the state on pagereveal. Yes, there's a tiiiiny bit of audio stutter because we're technically faking it, but it's still super neat.

A demo worth a thousand words: For better visualization, open the full-page view of the demo to see the pyramidal structure. On screen resize, you get a responsive behavior where the bottom part starts to behave similarly to the grid we created in the previous article!
