I agree with the reasoning here—a new display value would be ideal.
Jemima runs through just some of the exciting new additions to CSS:
Replacing 150+ lines of JavaScript with just a few CSS features is genuinely wild. We’re able to achieve the same amount of complexity that we’ve always had, but now it’s a lot less work to do so.
And Jemima will be opening the show at Web Day Out in Brighton on the 12th of March if you want to hear more of this!
Some neat CSS from Tess that’s a great example of progressive enhancement; these book covers look good in all browsers, but they look even better in some.

Progressive enhancement is about building something robust, that works everywhere, and then making it better where possible.
You might not need (much) JavaScript for these common interface patterns.

Yes! Client-side JavaScript should do what only client-side JavaScript can do.
Reminding myself just how much you can do with CSS these days.
