TLD – Top-Level Domain) .info, .jp, .kr, .lt, .pl, .se itd. zaczęły rozszerzać zestaw znaków używanych w nazwach domen. Aktualnie większość TLD obsługuje domeny IDN.

Did you know you can make triangles with pure CSS? It’s pretty easy. You just make a block level element with zero width and height, a colored border on one side, and transparent borders on the two adjacent sides.

Fortunately, pseduo elements are often a perfect fit. That is, using :before, :after, or both to create these block level elements and place the triangle. One neat use that came to mind in this vein: breadcrumb navigation.

Having said all that, creating a pure CSS chart that is both visually beautiful and highly interactive, especially with CSS3, is very much possible, as this round-up proves.
