input:invalid {} style of CSS is useful when the form element is invalid, but the user experience is poor when using it directly. For example, an invalid style is displayed immediately when a form loads, which confuses the user. Therefore, this usage is rare in practical applications. However, if this problem is avoided, :invalid selector can play a huge role in form validation without relying on large libraries.
Dave proposed an improvement based on the original idea from 2017:
<code>form.errors :invalid { outline: 2px solid red; }</code>
The native error style is applied only after confirming that the form is in an error state and errors class is added. Testing is also easy. For example, you can apply this class when the submit button is clicked:
<code>submitButton.addEventListener("click", (e) => { form.classList.toggle("errors", !form.checkValidity()) });</code>
It can also be applied when the input box loses focus or at other times. You can even wrap each input box in a wrapper and switch the wrapper class when appropriate.
Dave applies this idea to Vue:
We set
errorstofalsewhen initializing the form component because we don't want the wrong style to be displayed before the user submits the form. TheinvalidateFormfunction just setsthis.errortotrue. This is one of the disadvantages ofCSS :invalidpseudo-class, it is too urgent. By listening to theinvalidevent, the application of styles can be delayed until after the first form submission attempt, we know that there is an error in the form.
This approach does not require additional libraries, making full use of the native functionality of HTML form validation. The following link is an improved version that also displays an error message:

What is 'render-blocking CSS'?
Jun 24, 2025 am 12:42 AM
CSS blocks page rendering because browsers view inline and external CSS as key resources by default, especially with imported stylesheets, header large amounts of inline CSS, and unoptimized media query styles. 1. Extract critical CSS and embed it into HTML; 2. Delay loading non-critical CSS through JavaScript; 3. Use media attributes to optimize loading such as print styles; 4. Compress and merge CSS to reduce requests. It is recommended to use tools to extract key CSS, combine rel="preload" asynchronous loading, and use media delayed loading reasonably to avoid excessive splitting and complex script control.

CSS: When Does Case Matter (and When Doesn't)?
Jun 19, 2025 am 12:27 AM
In CSS, selector and attribute names are case-sensitive, while values, named colors, URLs, and custom attributes are case-sensitive. 1. The selector and attribute names are case-insensitive, such as background-color and background-Color are the same. 2. The hexadecimal color in the value is case-sensitive, but the named color is case-sensitive, such as red and Red is invalid. 3. URLs are case sensitive and may cause file loading problems. 4. Custom properties (variables) are case sensitive, and you need to pay attention to the consistency of case when using them.
