Formalize CSS | View demo | Download | GitHub repo Formalize CSS — Dress up your forms! Intro As designers, we are used to having quite a bit of control over how things are displayed in a browser. Sure, differing rendering engines don’t always agree on everything, but for the most part we can at least find ways to mitigate variance through workarounds, or by writing for the lowest common denominator. By far, one of the most frustrating parts of dealing with browser inconsistencies has got to be forms.

Some designers advocate styling form elements to match the brand of a site. That’s all well and good, except most browsers don’t mesh completely when it comes to OS consistency. I would say that I fall somewhere in the middle of the two camps. My Solution I want some measure of control over form elements, without changing them so drastically as to appear foreign in a user’s operating system. I have also added a few niceties. I’ve left untouched the input types of range and file. Make it Yours. Baseline - a designer framework by ProjetUrbain.com.

“Real” baseline grid on the web When I first started to design Baseline, I wanted to base the grid on the work of Josef Müller-Brockmann, unfortunately some missing CSS attributes — like type leading — kept me from implementing a true grid based approach. I then decided to another look at the basic grid used in print: the baseline grid. Most frameworks and examples of baseline grids simply put the type on a regular line-height, but one problem with this approach is that the text rarely lines up correctly between columns and headlines — H1 through H6. Baseline try to align to the font metric to correctly line up headlines, paragraphs, form labels and any other major elements on the page baseline, creating a harmonious layout.

How to use Baseline Baseline can be used in many different ways.

I recently, as many web designers and developers will have, became aware of a fantastic resource put together by web developer, Paul Irish, and Divya Manian. Html5 Boilerplate, as they have named it, is a powerful starting off point for any website or web application. As Paul Irish describes it; “It’s essentially a good starting template of html and css and a folder structure that works., but baked into it is years of best practices from front-end development professionals.” It is absolutely packed full of fantastic snippets of code that are still very much worth using even if you don’t want to start using html5 boilerplate as your base template.

Html We will start off by checking out some of the html snippets used in the resource.

I called Less Framework "a CSS grid system for designing adaptive websites". It was basically a fixed-width grid that adapted to a couple of then popular screen widths by shedding some of its columns. It also had matching typographic presets to go with it, built with a modular scale based on the golden ratio. The resources it was originally published with are still available on GitHub.

Contrary to how most CSS frameworks work, Less Framework simply provided a set of code comments and visual templates, instead of having predefined classes to control the layout with. This is how I still work today and definitely a method I advocate. Predefined layout code makes too many assumptions, getting in the way whenever I try to do anything different. /* Default Layout: 992px. Less Framework was popular in the early days of responsive design.

Eventually, I moved on from fixed-width grid systems and worked on a fully fluid-width one, in the form of Golden Grid System.
