tommoor/tinycon A List Apart: Articles: Sliding Doors of CSS A rarely discussed advantage of CSS is the ability to layer background images, allowing them to slide over each other to create certain effects. CSS2’s current state requires a separate HTML element for each background image. In many cases, typical markup for common interface components has already provided several elements for our use. Article Continues Below One of those cases is tabbed navigation. What if we could take the exact same markup from the tabs above, and turn them into something like this: With simple styling, we can. Where’s the Innovation? Many of the CSS-based tabs I’ve seen suffer from the same generic features: blocky rectangles of color, maybe an outline, a border disappears for the current tab, a color changes for the hover state. Prior to a more widespread adoption of CSS, we started seeing a lot of innovation in navigation design. Pure text navigation is much easier to maintain and loads more quickly than text-as-image navigation. Tab Creation#creation

CSS Layout - 100% height Min-height The #container element of this page has a min-height of 100%. That way, if the content requires more height than the viewport provides, the height of #content forces #container to become longer as well. Relative positioning Because #container has a relative position, #footer will always remain at its bottom; since the min-height mentioned above does not prevent #container from scaling, this will work even if (or rather especially when) #content forces #container to become longer. Padding-bottom Since it is no longer in the normal flow, padding-bottom of #content now provides the space for the absolute #footer. Scale the text size a bit or resize your browser window to test this layout. Back to CSS Examples

Type is the backbone of good web design Ever since launching my Information Portfolio, BrianHoff.net, I’ve received many emails with similar variations to the question “How do I become better with typography on the web?” or “Why does your type look nice on your site?” Below are a few techniques I generally go with when styling my type and aspects I considered and incorporated while designing BrianHoff.net. Line height First off if you are not specifying your type size in ems you should be. “The results show that, across all browsers, text at the medium browser setting is rendered identically to text set in pixels. Another reason I set my type in ems is because it’s easy to find a good line height, which I usually set as 1.5em.
