Chrome Lighthouse bug

 Chrome's Lighthouse said there was an error with the links on my page.


I checked the links.


I thought maybe I had some generic link text such as 'click here'.


I thought maybe the problem was that one of links is hidden on mobiles.


Then I noticed the tip on the error message:


    Required AnchorElements gatherer encountered an error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'objectId')


I found an issue raised with Chrome on 'github'. I tried removing non-breaking spaces from the page and the error went away. I will leave the spaces in and wait until the bug is fixed in Lighthouse.

How a CSS fish animation works

Image
 I have been adapting an animation of fish circling as in a bowl with bubbles rising in the middle. The original is by Yusuke Nakaya. See:      'codepen.io/YusukeNakaya/pen/WNopRwX' The fish are made of CSS triangles:     .pfshFish-body .pfshScale {         width: 0;         height: 0;         border-width: 0 0 3.125em 6.25em;     @keyframes fishColor {       0% {         border-color: transparent transparent #6C99C6 transparent; The triangles are reflected around the 'x' and 'y' axes to make one side of the body of the fish:     .pfshFish-body .pfshScale.-pfshTop.-pfshFront {         transform: scale(1, 1) skewX(4.5deg) rotateY(-11deg) rotateX(23deg)                    translate(0.09375em, 0.15625em);     }     .pfshFish-body .pfshScale.-pfshTop.-pfshBack...

Giving PWA icons transparent backgrounds

Image
 I changed some of my icons to have transparent backgrounds. These were the icons mentioned in the 'manifest' files of my Progressive Web Apps (PWA). I had given the icons white backgrounds to make them clearer as recommended by the PWA tutorial on Google's 'web.dev'. But these looked strange next to other icons on a Windows desktop. I made all my web pages PWA's by adding a 'manifest' file and starting a 'do-nothing' service worker. Chrome warns that loading these service workers slows things down. There are more tips at: bbingo.xyz/techtips/

Simple animation spacing out letters in an centred phrase

Image
 Animating the 'letter-spacing' of a centred piece of text is simple and looks nice. There is an example on 'codepen.io':     'codepen.io/Bert-Beckwith/pen/myVBZdw' This was one of my first animations for my game. I used JavaScript to do the animation. This looks a bit jerky but uses much less resources than the smoother simple CSS animation above.
