2 March 2017 - New Tutorial - Modal Dialogs without JavaScript
By Jason M. Knight (aka Deathshadow)

Orange cheeto fingered TLDR tweeting twit! CSS works really hard
but total loser! Do this
with jQuery it will be
like... REALLY Yuge!!!!!!!

I have added a new tutorial about something I'm often asked about. I tend to say "JavaScript for NOTHING" about a LOT of websites, have for years. This has only been more true since CSS3 has added so much capability to stylesheets -- and by extension the HTML it is applied to -- that a great many things developers are 100% convinced you need JavaScript to do, you just don't need scripting for anymore!

Topping that list? Modal Dialogs. You just don't need JavaScript for that when CSS3 gave us the lovely :target attribute. Likewise that litle fade-in merry artsy types go gooey in the pants over? CSS can handle that to.

So I present Modal Dialogs Without JavaScript.
