Every web developer should have in their toolbox a collection of CSS tools and resources like the ones outlined in this article. A set of techniques that you rely on and that are always at the ready to cover any possible eventuality. You will find not a selection of the latest innovative CSS techniques (there are some) in this article, merely a collection of tools, resources and downloads that can be used by web designers for solutions to everyday CSS design and coding solutions. The resources below have been split into four categories: CSS Download Packages (all of the CSS resources offer multiple variations of each technique), Downloadable CSS Tools (the resources within this category offers specialized templates), Web, Mobile & Form Frameworks (+ tools and templates to help you get started with each); Feature-Rich and Outstanding Mobile & Web Templates and finally, a selection of tools to help with cross browser compatibility.
In this post we present 50 useful and powerful CSS3/jQuery-techniques that can strongly improve user experience, improve designer’s workflow and replace dirty old workarounds that we used in Internet Explorer 6 & Co. This articles shows a number of options that developers can consider for those circumstances where support for a CSS3 feature is required for all versions of Internet Explorer (IE6, IE7, & IE8 — all of which are still currently in significant use). What’s Possible With CSS3?
3 Use CSS3 to Create a Dynamic Stack of Index Cards 4 We will create a dynamic stack of index cards solely with HTML and CSS3 and use such CSS3 features as transform and transition (for the dynamic effects) and @font-face, box-shadow and border-radius (for the styling).
By Chris Spooner There are exciting new features in the pipeline for Cascading Style Sheets that will allow for an explosion of creativity in Web design. These features include CSS styling rules that are being released with the upcoming CSS3 specification . Realistically, you won’t be able to use these on your everyday client projects for another few years, but for design blogs and websites aimed at the Web design community, these features can help you push the boundaries of modern Web design today, adding that extra spice to your design and helping the industry move forward. 1 Probably the most common CSS3 feature currently being used is border-radius.
It’s time to introduce CSS3 features into our projects and not be afraid to gradually incorporate CSS3 properties and selectors in our style sheets. Making our clients aware of the advantages of CSS3 (and letting older deprecated browsers fade away) is in our power, and we should act on it, especially if it means making websites more flexible and reducing development and maintenance costs. In this article, we’ll look at the advantages of CSS3 and some examples of how Web designers are already using it. By the end, we’ll know a bit of what to expect from CSS3 and how we can use its new features in our projects.
Experienced developers understand that CSS3 can be added to new projects with progressive enhancement in mind . This ensures that content is accessible while non-supportive browsers fall back to a less-enhanced experience for the user. But developers could face a situation where a client insists that the enhancements work cross-browser , demanding support even for IE6. In that case, I’ve collected together a number of options that developers can consider for those circumstances where support for a CSS3 feature is required for all versions of Internet Explorer (IE6, IE7, & IE8 — all of which are still currently in significant use). Opacity / Transparency I think all developers are baffled at why Internet Explorer still fails to support this very popular (albeit troublesome) property.
The names are defined in sections 7.3 and 7.4 of the W3C process document. A REC is what is normally referred to as a “standard.” W3C encourages everyday use starting from CR. Everybody can take part in the discussions on the archived mailing list www-style@w3.org . You can subscribe yourself.
In this article I will look at how you can use graceful (or, progressive) enhancement techniques to make use of CSS3 features in browsers that support them, while ensuring that your code will still provide a satisfactory user experience in older browsers that do not yet support those features. To understand the concept of progressive enhancement, you first need to understand the method of graceful degradation, which is summarised nicely by the following quote: Graceful degradation means that your Web site continues to operate even when viewed with less-than-optimal software in which advanced effects don't work.

The Zen Elements CSS3 Series has just completed an overhaul (Updated 26th May, 2011), not only providing a few additional CSS3 tutorials but also a revised CSS3 Browser Compatibility Chart! What is CSS , yet alone CSS3 ? Very briefly, CSS stands for ‘Cascading Style Sheets’ and is a mark-up language for altering and giving style to a website or elements within a website. The 3 represents the next generation/version of style sheet language. It is very important to learn that while it is fun to learn and play with CSS3, it is still not yet fully supported in current browsers.
If you follow CSS, you’re probably sick of hearing promises of CSS 3 — the next generation style sheet language that should have been here several years ago. Well, the specification document still isn’t finalized. If you’re impatient, you’re not alone. Browser manufacturers have already started rolling out support for many of the new features even if they aren’t yet set in stone. Opera and Safari have been leading the way when it comes to CSS 3 features, but Firefox 3 packs in a few and 3.1 promises to bring Firefox alongside the others. Yeah, we know what you’re thinking: “I can’t do it.
