What forces layout/reflow. The comprehensive list.

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics
  • elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

Pure SASS script for calculating contrast ratios of colors. MOVED TO: https://github.com/voxpelli/sass-color-helpers

Pure SASS-adaption of Lea Verou's contrast-ratio javascript. Can be useful when eg. generating colored buttons from a single supplied color as you can then check which out of a couple of text colors would give the best contrast.

This script currently lacks the support for alpha-transparency that Lea supports in her script though.

In addition to the color-contrast adaption there's also some math methods that were needed to be able to calculate the exponent of a number and especially so when the exponent is a decimal number. A 2.4 exponent is used to calculate the luminance of a color and calculating such a thing is not something that SASS supports out of the box and not something I found a good pure-SASS script for calculating and I much prefer pure-SASS over ruby extensions. The math methods might perhaps be unecessary though if you're running Compass or similar as they may provide compatible math methods themselves.

Normal usage: `color: pick_best_color(#f00

.htaccess for SSL via SNI to prevent the certificate-error for unsupported browsers. Always share http links and https will be used if supported. Otherwise the connection will be http. SNI is not supported on IE on Windows XP (5 - 8) and Android < 4.x __Important Note__ Don't use this .htaccess if you need HTTPS for all your clients. It is just …
# HTTP(S) Stuff
# Redirect all users except IE 5-8 & Android < 4 to HTTPS
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !MSIE\ [5-8]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !Android.*(Mobile)?\ [0-3]
