I'd call a trick something that is not part of the documentation core, something that has unexpected effect or behavior that was unintended initially.
None of those would apply here.
- claar 13y agoThe funny thing about your newly defined "trick" is that it would be foolish to rely on such undocumented behavior not changing on the next minor update. :)
- nkozyra 13y agoWell the same applies to this definition of "trick" so I'm not sure that's a particularly damning point. Either way, I didn't say such "tricks" are without peril - surely a number of jQuery "tricks," even those that were eventually canonized, have been broken over the years as the library updates.
- epo 13y ago"I'd call a trick something that is not part of the documentation core .." I'd call this particular definition a pedantic, artificial nitpick invented soley for the purpose of picking nits in the post. If on the other hand you use a conventional definition of trick, "a clever or particular way of doing something", then the post is indeed about a set of tricks.
- DatBear 13y agoBut these aren't clever or particular ways of doing things. You're using Bootstrap's css classes to do exactly what they're designed to do.
