    A Perfect Summer's Day

    It was a lovely day for a walk in the park.The birds were singing and the kids were all back at school.

    Where existing code is required for context, rather than repeat all of it, will be displayed:

    function animate() { new_variable = "Hello";}

    Some lines of code should be entered on one line, but weve had to wrap them because of page constraints. An indicates a line break that exists for formatting purposes only, and should be ignored:

    URL.open("http://www.sitepoint.com/responsive-web-design-real-user-testing/?responsive1");

    Chapter 1: Using CSS Transforms in the Real World
    by Ilya Bodrov-Krukowski

    In this article, well learn how CSS transforms can be used in the real world to solve various tasks and achieve interesting results. Specifically, youll learn how to adjust elements vertically, create nice-looking arrows, build loading animations and create flip animations.

    Transformations of HTML elements became a CSS3 standard in 2012 and were available in some browsers before then. Transformations allow you to transform elements on a web page as explained in our 101 article on CSS transforms. You can rotate, scale, or skew your elements easily with just one line of code, which was difficult before. Both 2D and 3D transformations are available.

    As for browser support, 2D transforms are supported by all major browsers including Internet Explorer, which has had support since version 9. As for 3D transformations, IE has only partial support since version 10.

    Ahem, Excuse Me ...

    This article wont focus on the basics of transformations. If you dont feel very confident with transformations, I recommend reading about 2D and 3D transforms first.

    Vertically Aligning Children

    Any web designer knows how tedious it can be to vertically align elements. This task may sound very simple to a person whos not familiar with CSS, but in reality theres a jumble of techniques that are carefully preserved between generations of developers. Some suggest using display: inline with vertical-align: middle, some vote for display: table and accompanying styles, whereas true old school coders are still designing their sites with tables (just joking, dont do that!). Also, its possible to solve this task with Flexbox or Grids, but for smaller components, transforms may be a simpler option.

    Vertical alignment can be more complex when element heights are variable. However, CSS transformations provide one way to solve the problem. Lets see a very simple example with two nested divs:

    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam

    Nothing complex: just two nested blocks with a Lorem Ipsum text of different length.

    Lets set width, height, and border for the parent, as well as some spacing to make it look nicer:

    .parent { height: 300px; width: 600px; padding: 0 1em; margin: 1em; border: 1px solid red;}

    Also, enlarge the children font size a bit:

    .child { font-size: 1.2rem;}

    As a result, youll see something like this:

    And now your customer says Please align the text vertically so that it appears - photo 2

    And now your customer says: Please align the text vertically so that it appears in the middle of these red boxes. Nooo! But fear not: were armed with transformations! The first step is to position our children relatively and move them 50% to the bottom:
