# Chris’ Corner: Click Something Do Something

**[CodePen](https://daily.dev/sources/codepen)** · 3 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A roundup of modern HTML and CSS techniques that enable interactive behavior without JavaScript. Covers the evolution from the checkbox hack to newer primitives like <details>, popovers with invokers, ::scroll-button, and CSS-only animations. Includes real-world examples: a CSS-only Flappy Bird clone, an image gallery using baseline features, a JavaScript-free icon resizing approach using pre-rendered HTML pages, and a CSS custom property library that exposes JS-only values like mouse position to CSS.
