Attach icons to anything with CSS
Filed: Sun, Jan 07 2007 under Programming|| Tags: css1 selectors icons css Conditional CSS selectors work only with modern browsers (FireFox 2.0+, Opera 9, and IE7). Of particular note, the techniques described in this article will work with IE7 only if you supply a document type . Your page doesn't necessarily have to validate, it just needs a document type to get IE out of quirksmode . Browsers which can't do conditional selectors simply won't display the icon. -- This note was added after publication. Thanks to CSS selectors it's possible to attach icons to anything you want just by adding an attribute of your choosing to your HTML.
Iconize Textlinks with CSS - pooliestudios
Links are fun, but sometimes we don't know where they take us. With this little CSS technique a user can identify a link by its icon . This whole thing was inspired by the " Showing Hyperlink Cues with CSS " article of Ask the CSS Guy . The idea is pretty simple, if a link points to a .pdf file, we show the .pdf icon after the link.CSS is important. And it is being used more and more often. Cascading Style Sheets offer many advantages you don’t have in table-layouts – and first of all a strict separation between layout, or design of the page, and the information, presented on the page. Thus the design of pages can be easily changed, just replacing a css-file with another one.

CSS-Based Forms: Modern Solutions
Super-Easy Blendy Backgrounds
Recently, while trying to implement a few different navigation ideas that a designer had thrown my way, I became frustrated with my weak image editing skills. The design was gradient-heavy, so a traditional approach to navigation markup and styling would require a dozen or so background-image slices to meet the varying colors and height requirements. After spending a mortifying amount of time creating the images—I’m a programmer by trade, so anything more complicated than MS Paint gives me the willies—I had to take a step back and figure out a better way. What if, after finishing, I needed to tweak the height?

CSS layout technique
Look Ma, No Tables. If you are looking for help making the transition to CSS layout (that's Cascading Style Sheets), you've come daodkwoakdoakdoawdkoadkowdkto the right place. I am cataloging here as many useful cross-browser CSS layout techniques as I can find, and some that I made up when I was bored last Thursday. All the examples on this site have been reduced to only their essential code, and you will find the source displayed on each page to hopefully make it quick and easy to understand the inner workings of the CSS. Feel free to steal all the code you find on this site , and consider linking back here on your site or in your source comments.CSS Frames
Background One of the arguments for using frames has always been that they allow you to keep parts of the layout on-screen at all times. This can be emulated with CSS, as described here. This results in much better usability than normal frames, but there are still some potential problems you need to be aware of. For a longer discussion on frames and usability, read my article Who framed the web: Frames and usability .History We were building a two-column CSS layout where the right column was fixed width and the left column was variable width, so we couldn't use any of the standard page-background hacks to balance the columns (no way to predict the size of the background graphic). We wrote a simple script that reads the height of the taller column, then applies it to the height of the shorter column. After using it for a while I realized that it was a pain to manually update it all the time and people were having trouble getting their heads around offsetHeight vs style.height and how to apply the script so we abstracted it a bit. We built the simplest three column CSS layout I could make and Scott reworked the JavaScript file to automatically pick the tallest column and compensate for box model issues. A whole pile of people used it, and the one thing everyone wanted was a way to detect changes in text size to reset column size.
