How To Create an IE-Only Stylesheet

http://css-tricks.com/how-to-create-an-ie-only-stylesheet/ Published by Chris Coyier This article has been updated from an older version (originally Sept 24, 2007). I just wanted to expand it and make it more clear. If you read this blog, there is a 99% chance you've had a hair-pulling experience with IE. But if you are worth your salt as a CSS coder, you should be able to deal with it.

Responsive Web Design Sketch Sheets | MightyMeta

http://www.mightymeta.co.uk/responsive-web-design-sketch-sheets/ I’ve made some printable sheets for wireframing for responsive layouts, with corresponding Photoshop templates. Download .zip 1. 2MB The Responsive Sketch Sheet Problem There are several well argued articles that champion the browser as the only place where the behaviour of adaptive/responsive layouts can be accurately described. This may well be true, but I would still advocate starting the whole design process with sketches on paper. Put simply, using a pencil to think visually has an immediacy that is clouded once software interfaces and html/css are introduced — these should come later, after the initial design concept has been formed.

Tools - Tabifier (HTML and CSS code beautifier) - Arantius.com

The tabifier is a tool to properly indent computer code. The style it produces is a mix of my personal preferences for indentation plus what I could manage to make a program produce from dirty source. The tabifier currently supports CSS, HTML, and C Style code; the latter being anything that uses curly braces to start and end blocks, and semicolons to terminate statements. JavaScript and PHP both fall into that latter category. http://tools.arantius.com/tabifier

CSS Prototyping

This is a simple trick to overlay a grid or a mock-up over a page you're styling. It will also allow you to edit content directly in the browser to see how your layout behaves depending on various lines of text. These are the rules to include in the styles sheet you work on: The first rule will overlay your image over the page. http://www.css-101.org/articles/trick-for-rapid-prototyping/
I’ve been using LESS religiously ever since I stumbled upon it months ago. CSS was never really a problem for me, in and of itself, but I was intrigued by the idea of using variables to create something along the lines of a color palette for my websites and themes. Having a color palette with a fixed number of options to choose from helps prevent me from going color crazy and deviating from a chosen style.

Equal Height Columns - revisited - In search of the One True Layout

Stop Press! Several problems have been found with this technique since publication. Those problems are discussed in Appendix J Huh? As an astute disciple of CSS, you are probably about to point out that there is a well-known tried and tested method for this (and as already mentioned earlier in this article), the one popularised in Dan Cederholm's Faux Columns . If so, just wait - we are returning to the scene of the crime... http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/onetruelayout/equalheight
http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/companions.html 1 The illusion of equal height columns The search for a technique that offers real equal height columns leads nowhere because we don't have full vertical control in current CSS 2.1 implementations cross browser. The available techniques are simulations of columns: a repeated image displaying Faux Columns [Cederholm], columns made of borders [Livingstone], and variations. We couldn't even fall back on a (CSS-)table, since there is no broad, sufficient implementation of display: table in the browsers. And a table would dismiss the accessibility request for having the columns logically ordered in the source. OneTrueLayout [Robinson] uses a promising technique [Challoner] where the columns are still not equal in height, but they are cut in length, so they appear as-if.

How to Use the Sticky Footer HTML & CSS Code

One of the differences between Internet Explorer and standards compliant Web browsers that cause a lot of trouble for CSS beginners is the CSS box model. Since the box model is what browsers use to calculate an element’s total width and height, it is quite understandable that different browsers producing different results can be both confusing and frustrating. How the CSS box model works has been explained by others many times already. Nonetheless I still see questions related to the CSS box model on forums and mailing lists , and frequently encounter sites that expect browsers to use Internet Explorer’s non-standard way of calculating box dimensions.
