Just back from A&E. I had a terrible pain in my bum. The doctor made me touch my toes, put his hand up and, after a few minutes of strenuous effort, he pulled out a lettuce leaf. "It feels much better, thank you!" I exclaimed. He replied, "I'm sorry, Bruce, but this is just the tip of the iceberg".

Dreadful news about that French chef who got depressed, just gave up, and died. Apparently he lost the huile d'olive.

Was there ever a proposal to add the ability to "light dismiss" an open <details> element with esc (like HTML popover & <dialog>) or did I make it up in one of my perviest dreams?

@brucelawson I read this somewhere yesterday and am almost certain there are plans to back-fill it from Popover. Looking to see if I can find where that was...

@brucelawson https://web.dev/blog/popover-api No, think I got confused with this:

Dialog was shipped well before popover and many lessons were learned. One of which is how nice it is to declaratively open and close popovers with an invoker. To resolve this, the invoketarget property is being discussed and prototyped for a more declarative dialog toggle trigger, much like with popover  

No mention of light dismiss.

brb, explaining to someone that just because the contract didn't expressly say "The project should not contravene Equality Act 2010", it doesn't mean accessibility wasn't "in scope".

At the weekend I took the kids to the zoo. There were no pandas. No lions. No tigers. No giraffes. No elephants. No crocodiles. Just a tiny little dog in a cage. It was a Shih Tzu.

Why did none of you tell me that my code was failing in Firefox because I was trying to style details:open rather than details[open] ? Fine bloody mates you lot are.

@brucelawson Hey, Bruce! Soooo, it seems that your code was failing in Firefox. It might be because you styled details:open rather than details[open]

But idk. Who am I to say?! Just thought you should know.

😘

It's not just computers that are crap rubbish technology. Look at this daft toaster from Tesco that is too small too accommodate standard Tesco own brand bread. I might stick a React sticker on it.

Some toast. Except 25% of it, which is disappointingly slightly warmed but still white bread.

Having the first cheeky Pimms of the year while prepping an roast dinner for 7 (gammon, with roasted vegan sausages for the veggies)

@pcambra those are called "polite pimms", and not usually taken after breakfast.

@brucelawson you could even say they’re… cordial
