Well it kinda happened like that except it was FIVE semi-obscure html/css things that about 48 hrs later, I was suddenly questioned on about ALL of them.
An example:
TT: “I have a form where there are 4 options and the owner of the form wants two of the options to appear and be inactive. I think that would mean a span containing grey text and is there a way to create an unclickable checkbox form control?…Oh yeah, what would you call the span? Inactive?”
24 HRS BEFORE: I was googling for the Inman article on safari text inputs and instead somehow found “Shawn asks the CSS guy about styling disabled text inputs“. Whatever, right? I’ve never used it before and probably will never hear of the disabled attribute again….
