I won’t go into the post’s specifics here (I recommend you read the article for yourself) but it details how to render full-bleed element effects utilizing the CSS <code>grid</code> property.</p> +<p>While the approach in the article works perfectly fine, I thought to myself, “Is there not a simpler, more backwards compatible way to do this?”. Indeed there is.</p> +<p><strong>Don’t care about the tutorial?</strong> <a href="#live-demo">Skip down to the live demo</a></p> +<h2 id="make-the-web-backwards-compatible">Make the Web Backwards Compatible</h2> +<p>I try my best when creating specific element designs or layouts to have everything render consistently across almost <em>all</em> browsers. This tends to include the obvious front-runners: Chrome, Firefox, Safari - but I also try my best not to ignore the oldies: IE11, Edge and older versions of Opera. I believe if most web designers even loosely followed this concept we wouldn’t be stringing together barely implemented CSS properties and hacking together polyfills for all the unsupported browsers. Just my two cents.</p> +<p>What does this have to do with full-bleed exactly? Well, the CSS we will be using in this demo is fully compatible with pretty much <em>any browser</em> that can run the basic version of CSS rendering. If the browser you’re targeting supports <code>max-width</code> and <code>margins</code> - then have no fear, full-bleeds are here.</p> +<h2 id="our-html-example">Our HTML Example</h2> +<p>Let’s create a single-column blog layout for this example. We will include a heading, some paragraphs, an image, and a blockquote to keep it simple:</p> +<pre><code><main> + <article> + <h1>Main Heading</h1> + <p>Et non consequat eiusmod minim fugiat.

We do this with - you guessed it - the <code>section</code> element. In this demo we want the image and blockquote to become <code>full-bleed</code> when rendered, so we’ll add the <code>full-bleed</code> class to those sections for now (more on that later):</p> +<pre><code><main> + <article> + <section> + <h1>Main Heading</h1> + <p>Et non consequat eiusmod minim fugiat.

Now any element (blockquotes, specific headers, navigations, footers, etc) that you want to layout as “full-bleed”, just wrap it in a <code>section</code> tag and sick the <code>full-bleed</code> class on it.
