I have a CSS file that notes style elements for the whole table, but is there a way to make individual cells a certain background color, without wrapping each of them in a div?

I know the answer to this is probably "no" but... Does anyone know of a way to have javascript play an HTML5 audio element in Safari on an iOS device without requiring ANY user gestures? I know Apple is pretty thorough about this, but figure I would ask. Failing a fix for Safari, are there any browsers available for iOS that don't have the restriction of requiring a user gesture? Chrome doesn't seem to have the ability to disable that, and I'm just not familiar enough with the iOS browser situation to know of more. I ask because I'd built a website for an academic research team that works doing assessments with children, and much of the functionality of the website was tied to events handling sound files playing and ending, with the kids only being able to select an option after the sound files had finished playing. Originally the application was for desktop browsers, but they're moving to mobile and I'm hoping there's a relatively straight-forward fix.

https://developer.apple.com/library...Animations.html The apple supported hack appears to be to have a single audio element, use a gesture to trigger it, then change the src on the fly to change which sound is playing. The other path may be an html5 app publishing framework like phone gap: https://phonegap.com/

I will give the first one a try; unfortunately Cordova and phone gap wont work without substantial rebuilding. Thanks!

Is a OS neutral way to run a tool. The more OS neutral ways to do things we have, the better, because it makes tutorials simpler because the same instructions will work in OSX, Ubuntu and Windows. Software developing is a different type of task than maintaining software. So It kind of make sense for tools designed for software developers to self-install and do that part automatically. You also want installing tools to be easier has possible, because is the first thing newbies need. You don't want the first lesson of a tutorial to be so hard, everyone quit in that part.

I agree that enterprise culture is a real detriment to the Java community, but there's no escaping that Java itself is a terse language. Efficiency and expressiveness are not traits you often hear in regards to it. Groovy, Kotlin, Scala, etc. were essentially designed to address these specific shortcomings. These languages all compile down to the same Java bytecode and interop is extremely good with some of them, so there is less a reason to intentionally limit yourself. That enterprise FizzBuzz is amazing

So at the new gig, they wanted me to learn Semantic-UI as their style/widget framework to use going forward. After fiddling with it for a few days, here is my trip report. Pros: - it's SUPER pretty - it's not Bootstrap - once you get used to the "semantic-ness" of the syntax, it makes total sense. e.g. code:- did I mention it's pretty? Cons: - it's SUPER persnickety about you using it's theme system. Even something simple like overriding the font for the entire site has to be done in the theme, or you will be in hell. - same thing with colors - every time you update the theme, you have to recompile semantic with gulp build in the semantic directory. This makes your initial dev cycle when you are trying to get base styles set up go reeeeeaaaaalllllllyyyyyy slooooooooooooooooooowly - it's fairly heavyweight when it's all said and done. You get a lot, but you pay for it. So there you go. http://semantic-ui.com

Your class names should describe what something is, not how it looks. When you have to make changes across lots of different areas of a site it makes it really difficult if everything has a ton of class names, and even more so when it's hard to tell which class names are related to which larger overall concept. In my experience, systems like BEM are way better for creating CSS that scales. Your HTML says what things are, your CSS determines how they look.

We had a developer that named everything generic like <button class="btn lrg org left"/> and it's been a night mare to deal with. He also made a bunch of generic jquery listeners with things like $("body").on("click", "div > ul >li", function....) that's made certain parts of our application a nightmare to debug. This was all before we started code review (this stuff gets slapped down quickly) as well as before we started using Less to help out with regurgitating styles.
