Thanks!

I use scroll position to keep the state. In effect, each square is in a div with overflow:hidden. (In the actual code I used <i>, not <div>, which might've been to save bytes because the server is so slow). It has a fixed visible height, the height of the square. Above the fold (before scrolling) is the un-clicked square, and below the fold (what you see after scrolling) is the clicked square.

Since overflow is hidden, you have to use an in-page anchor link to scroll to the clicked state. The unclicked version of each cell is an anchor to the clicked version.



wow, that's super clever. I was sitting here reading the code and didn't find a negative margin or positional property anywhere, and further, no switches to hold the state. Couldn't for the life of me figure out what you were doing hahaha I love it

Thank you!


That is an amazing hack! Awesome.
