What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics

elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

Answering the Front-end developer JavaScript interview questions to the best of my ability.

Explain event delegation

Sometimes you need to delegate events to things.

Explain how this works in JavaScript

This references the object or "thing" defined elsewhere. It's like "hey, thing I defined elsewhere, I'm talkin' to you."

Explain how prototypal inheritance works.

Essential JavaScript Links

I no longer mantain this list. There are lots of other very comprehensive JavaScript link lists out there. Please see those, instead (Google "awesome JavaScript" for a start).

Styling native elements

Native HTML controls are a challenge to style. You can style any element in the web platform that uses Shadow DOM with a pseudo element ::pseudo-element or the /deep/ path selector.

video::webkit-media-controls-timeline {
  background-color: lime;
}

video /deep/ input[type=range] {

Project structure

Example project directory, the root folders are pretty consistent, the sub directories (on lib, etc) are just examples of what might be in there.
