Ben Frain

Ben Frain has been a web designer/developer since 1996. He is currently employed as a UI-UX Technical Lead at bet365. Before the web, he worked as an underrated (and modest) TV actor and technology journalist, having graduated from Salford University with a degree in Media and Performance. He has written four equally underrated (his opinion) screenplays and still harbors the (fading) belief he might sell one. Outside of work, he enjoys simple pleasures: playing indoor football while his body and wife still allow it and wrestling with his two sons.

Defining experimental values


Super, that has us covered for experimental properties. But what do we do if the value itself is experimental? After all, given our prior example, I'm almost certain I've not set the value of a property to lincolnshire before now (float: lincolnshire; anyone?).

Compass has a mixin to cover that. It's called experimental-value. Take a look at this example:

.your-own-property {
  @include experimental-value(sausage, lincolnshire, -moz, -webkit, not -o, not -ms, not -khtml, official);
}

Here is the CSS that generates:

.your-own-property {
  sausage: -webkit-lincolnshire;
  sausage: -moz-lincolnshire;
  sausage: lincolnshire;
}

As before, it respects any global vendor support you have set alongside ones explicitly passed in as arguments.
