Can I Use - Define/Explain Purpose of the Site
The purpose of the site Can I Use is to provide developers with an up to date list of properties and how they are supported across various browsers. It allows the developer to understand whether or not a particular coding style will be supported and any know issues with that particular code.
4 Specific Uses for the Site
- To look up whether a specific property and/or value is supported by a particular browser.
- To look up known issues for a property or value.
- To use links to reference materials on the MDN site.
- The ability to test code on a specific browser to see how it behaves on that browser.
2 Properties
- perspective-This property allows you to code for 3D transformations. The perspective property creates the ability to transform the z-space. It is as if you can look at the backside of an element.
- position: sticky-This property allows you to position an element. The value of sticky is currently in working draft form. It allows the developer to create areas where an element will stick or become fixed when needed.
Summary
This is a useful site for understanding how your code will preform on various browsers and any possible issues there are with different properties when applied to elements. The charts are easy to read and the links to resources are easy to use and understand. It will definitely help the coder understand issues as well as understand how a property will act across various user experiences. The ability to test code on a particular browser is also beneficial.
