PUBLIC MARKS from decembre with tags dev & svg

Do you like colouring books? Are you getting a little bored and running out of things to do at home? Well, I have created some digital colouring pages that you can colour with code. There is a lot going on in the world right now so I wanted to share something lighthearted and fun. Something everyone can take part in and share with their friends and family online.

I love using SVG in CSS background images but it sucks that you can't alter the fill color easily within your CSS. Here are a few ways around that. # SVG in CSS backgrounds: Using SVG in CSS backgrounds allows you to use CSS's powerful background sizing and position properties. This makes sizing SVGs much simpler because the image easily scales to the size of your element. Plus you don't have SVG cluttering up your markup. There are also some nice performance benefits over inline SVG. An SVG in a background image can be cached. Using image sprites and embedding SVG as a data URI can also improve performance.

Why use SVG at all?: Small file sizes that compress well__ Scales to any size without losing clarity (except very tiny)__ Looks great on retina displays__ Design control like interactivity and filters__

DOM (Document Object Model) events allow event-driven programming languages like JavaScript, JScript, ECMAScript, VBScript and Java to register various event handlers/listeners on the element nodes inside a DOM tree, e.g. HTML, XHTML, XUL and SVG documents. Historically, like DOM, the event models used by various web browsers had some significant differences. This caused compatibility problems. To combat this, the event model was standardized by the W3C in DOM Level 2.
