In the left corner: Tyler Tate’s 1KB CSS Grid, a lean framework sporting 14 classes and the familiar conventions for enforcing a visual grid via CSS. In the right corner: Vladimir Carrer’s 1-line CSS Grid, an experimental framework sporting a single class to cut nested column widths in half. The solution is mindblowingly brilliant, but [...]
Jon Tangerine, David DeSandro, Trent Walton have all come up with ingenious ways to create image-free logotypes by pushing the limits of CSS (Sean Martell made a mouth-watering CSS-based logo too, but doesn’t contain text) that one has to wonder: is this the next step in online branding and identity? The simplest argument against this [...]
Google is throwing its own hat into the web fonts ring with the Google Font Directory and the Google Font API. While it appears it doesn’t have any partnerships with the big names in typography like TypeKit does, just a handful of open fonts, it does have a partnership with TypeKit itself (as you’ll see [...]
Remember my complaint about all the CSS3 syntaxes differing from one browser to another? It’s now addressed with CSS3 Please, a jQuery-based, in-browser editor that replaces multiple attribute values of the more complicated CSS3 syntaxes (from border-radius to rgba to @font-face) all at the same time, so you don’t have to. In addition to syncing [...]
It’s a disappointing day when you find a single serving site that generates the comprehensive syntax for the border-radius property, aptly named border-radius.com. Because not all browsers (and browser versions) support the latest and greatest things CSS3 can do, one has to resort to browser targeting yet again. Only this time, one browser’s syntax is [...]
Harry Roberts a.k.a. CSS Wizardry tweeted a certain tutorial by CSS Aid (page is dead now), which was enclosed with four little words (“Good lord, wrong much?”) that echoed such alarming levels of horror and shock (considering he tweets about poor examples of HTML/CSS code everyday), that I had to check it out. First, the [...]
Andy Clarke of For A Beautiful Web has presented a stylesheet for the web browser we haven’t been able to push off the provebial cliff: Internet Explorer 6. When I asked myself why people visit my sites, and the ones that I make for other people, the answer was always “for the content”. Content that [...]
It’s April 9th somewhere around the world and that means it’s time for the annual CSS Naked Day. Just how elegant and semantic is your website’s markup? Stripping out your stylesheets will determine that. Good houses must have good foundations, and so must good sites. The idea behind this event is to promote Web Standards. [...]
Eric Meyer has started poring over the WaSP community’s suggestions for CSS3 with a series of posts on his weblog—3 so far in less than a week. The original feedback compiled by Fantasai is a monstrous read in itself, but all these are worth perusing if you care remotely about the future of web design. [...]
All the hoopla over Everything You Know About CSS Is Wrong!, a book by Rachel Andrew and Kevin Yank (see also the Digital Web article) is making me feel uneasy. We’re not wrong; the title is wrong I detest the title of the book. No, I don’t think “everything” I know about CSS is wrong. [...]
