An NCI clinical trial finds the drug selumetinib improves outcomes for children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), shrinking inoperable tumors called plexiform neurofibromas, reducing pain, and improving function and overall quality of life.

Did people domesticate animals? Or did they domesticate themselves? Online News Editor David Grimm talks with Sarah Crespi about a recent study that looked at self-domesticating mice. If they could go it alone, could cats or dogs have done the same in the distant past? Next, Sinan Aral of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge joins Sarah to discuss his work on true and false rumor cascades across all of Twitter, since its inception. He finds that false news travels further, deeper, and faster than true news, regardless of the source of the tweet, the kind of news it was, or whether bots were involved. In a bonus segment recording during a live podcasting event at the AAAS Annual Meeting in Austin, Sarah first speaks with Ben Munson of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis about markers of gender and sexual orientation in spoken language and then Adrienne Hancock of The George Washington University in Washington, D.C., talks about using what we know about gender and communication to help transgender women change their speech and communication style. Live recordings sessions at the AAAS meeting were supported by funds from the European Commission. This week’s episode was edited by Podigy. Listen to previous podcasts.

Using within-page links presses the jumped-to content right at the very top of the viewport. This can be a problem when using a fixed header. With a bit of hackery, there are some CSS methods to insert space between the top of the viewport and the target element within a page.

Demo: Jump links and viewport positioning

Known support: varies depending on method used.

This experiment is the result of a post Chris Coyier made on Forrst. Chris’ method was to add an empty span element to the target element, shift the id attribute onto the span, and then absolutely position the span somewhere above it’s parent element.

That method works but it requires changes to the HTML. The comments on Chris’ post suggested the use of psuedo-elements or padding. This experiment expands on, and combines, some of those suggestions to show the limitations of each method and document their browser support.

Simplest method

If you need to jump to an element with simple styling then using the :before pseudo-element is a quick and simple approach.

#target:before {
   content: "";
   display: block;
   height: 50px;
   margin: -30px 0 0;
}

The drawbacks are that it requires browser support for pseudo-elements and it will fail if the target element has a background colour, a repeated background image, padding-top, or border-top as part of its rule set.

More robust method

The more robust method uses a transparent border, negative margin, and the background-clip property. If a top border is required then it can be mimicked using a pseudo-element, as described in Multiple Backgrounds and Borders with CSS 2.1.

#target {
   position: relative;
   border-top: 52px solid transparent;
   margin: -30px 0 0;
   -webkit-background-clip: padding-box;
   -moz-background-clip: padding;
   background-clip: padding-box;
}

#target:before {
   content: "";
   position: absolute;
   top: -2px;
   left: 0;
   right: 0;
   border-top: 2px solid #ccc;
}

There are still drawbacks: it requires browser support for background-clip if there is a background color, gradient, or repeating image set on the target element; it requires browser support for pseudo-elements and their positioning if a top border is desired; and it interferes with the standard use of margins.

To see these methods in action – as well as more details on the code, browser support, and drawbacks – have a look at the demo page. Please let me know if you know of better techniques.
