Stop Safari Auto Zooming Form Fields

Is the only way to prevent safari from auto zooming on form fields to set the font size of the fields to be at least 16px? I tried adding the meta tags as suggested here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2989263/disable-auto-zoom-in-input-text-tag-safari-on-iphone but auto zooming still continues to happen It seems slightly ludicrous to me that increasing the font size is the only solution...

:hover applies even when the grid gap is hovered. Any way to fix it through CSS?

I’ve been working on a grid exercise and ran into an annoying issue. The goal is for all cards to have a default opacity of 1. When a card is hovered, its opacity should stay at 1, while every other card fades to 0.5. https://codepen.io/NotNegative/pen/LEpMKNB ...

View transition durations

Anyone here have decent experience with view transitions? I'm wondering if, you have a long transition on the root, that it won't block all interaction even when shorter groups run? I found a work around using custom properties, where all the view transitions use a --vt-speed custom prop for their duration, and then when different functions are used to trigger specific view transitions, that function sets the custom property to the desired speed, but it feels like there should be a better way?...

Does the new popover API use dialog element under the hood?

Maybe it's a misunderstanding on my part but I always thought that if you need an element that interrupts the user flow, like any popover does, then it should be created with the <dialog/> element or else it would not be accessible. Is my stipulation incorrect here? If I am correct, then does adding popover automatically adds the <dialog/ element as a wrapper? This doesn't seem to be the case from what I can tell after looking at the dev tools. ...

How to adjust Height When Virtual Keyboard Appears?

Does anyone know if Kevin has a video explaining how to adjust a website's height based on the appearance or disappearance of a mobile device's virtual keyboard? I found Kevin's video on vh vs svh vs dvh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ru3U8MHbFFI very helpful. Around 4:10 he talks about how these values do not accommodate for the mobile devices virtual keyboard because the virtual keyboard is not considered browser UI....

Outline being displayed outside of the margin

My understanding is that when applying an outline, it appears where a border would appear if none were present. I'm have a simple situation where I have an image and upon hover, I want to draw an outline outside of the image. The image has a small margin at the top and bottom. What I'm getting as a result is the border being displayed outside of the margin on the top and bottom. I'm finding this baffling. Thanks for any advice.

CSS Transition: ease-in-out? Seems to contain Left/Top/Right, but not Bottom (hah)

https://codepen.io/Laing91/pen/gbaBadR?editors=1100 my html and class naming is all over teh place, which might be the reason why this isn't working, anyway. i thought overflow:hidden on the image container, then transition on the image, and img:hover transform: scale(1.2) would've worked, but it seems to escape south....

help me fit this in the viewport

Hey guys, I need help making the table container (the highlighted) element make use of the available height, and not grow, so it doesn't cause any overflow. Unless and until I give the container a fixed height, the overflow auto wouldn't work. I was thinking it would implicitly treat the 1fr as the max height, but it continues to grow.
