Oblomov<p>I have a question for <a href="https://sociale.network/tags/CSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CSS</span></a> <a href="https://sociale.network/tags/webDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>webDev</span></a> experts. I have an object element with a nested element to be shown as fallback when the object can't be rendered by the UA. Is there a way to render the object element differently depending on whether it is supported or not?</p><p>(Motivation: the object is inline-block, but I would like the nested element to be a simple inline.)</p>

Noah Liebman<p>It’s a subgrid vs container queries day 😩</p><p>I get why subgrid and size containment can be incompatible, but only my rows are subgrid and I want inline-size containment. By not caring about which axes are in play, the current spec seems more constrained than strictly necessary.</p><p>(Also, using a column subgrid and wanting block-size queries would introduce a use case for the rejected block-size containment because inline-size containment would naturally be disallowed.)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/css" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>css</span></a></p>

Eric A. Meyer<p>⌨️ New meyerweb post! I crawled down an infinite <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CSS</span></a> hole to find out where it ended. The results were as mind-bending as I could’ve hoped, even though I was sort of hoping they wouldn’t be.
