How to vertically and horizontally center text in an unordered list or div Congratulations if you've managed to find this tutorial! I've been trying to increase awareness and publicity to this tutorial by going to other tutorials and leaving comments but I'm finding the authors take a competitive edge and do not approve my link to this page. If you find this helpful then please promote it by using the social links further down the page. This should hopefully increase my chances to be found in Google. The following example shows you how to vertically and horizontally center text in both an unordered list and a div without resorting to JavaScript or css line heights. If you simply wish for it to work in a div, remove the list items around it (the code will still work). UPDATE, the code has been altered slightly as of 29/9/2011 to make it easier to work with. Alternatively, you can download the zip here. Like It? Need help with this article? Have you got a suggestion, compliment or need additional help with this article?
Sassaparilla: Fiennes Edition Accessible star rating widget with pure CSS For ages, we couldn’t utilize the sibling combinators (~ and +) to ease the pain of creating star rating widgets, because of this stupid Webkit bug. Nowadays, not only it’s fixed, but the fix has already propagated to Chrome and Safari 5.1. So, we can at least use the sibling combinator to make coloring the stars easier. But can we use no JavaScript for a rating widget and make it just with CSS? Actually, we can. Of course, you’d still need JS to attach an event handler if you want the votes to be registered through AJAX, but that’s not part of the rating widget per se (it could still work as part of a regular form). What’s best is that it’s fully keyboard accessible (focus and then use keyboard arrows) and screen reader accessible (although VoiceOver will also pronounce the generated stars, but that won’t happen if you use images instead of unicode stars). So, here it is:
Typeplate: A Starter Kit For Beautiful Web Type As of today we’re pleased to announce Typeplate, a free-range and open-source typographic starter kit that will hopefully help you build beautiful, text-rich websites. The word on the street is that the Web Is 95% Typography, so as we hurtle towards the future, we think there’s still a lot we can learn from five centuries of history. Typeplate is the result of this exploration of our typographic heritage. “Another Framework?” We made Typeplate because we weren’t satisfied with existing Web frameworks. Pattern libraries are helpful but they rarely separate structure from aesthetics, which leads to projects looking generic unless you sink a lot of time into re-working all the patterns. With Typeplate, you can combine solid typographic conventions of the past with flexible styles of the presence. How It Works So what does Typeplate do? Typeplate isn’t the next Bootstrap or Foundation; we’re building a toolkit for Web type that’s meant to be extended and customized. Demo And Downloads Easy.

Simple Laravel Layouts using Blade A simple and easy way to use the Blade templating engine to get a fully ready layout system. We will create a few site pages (home, about, projects, contact). Here is a table of the pages that we will use and the layouts that they will use. Routing To get our pages to work, we’re going to setup a simple route to get our home page. Since we’re only touching on layouts in Blade, we won’t need to do anything but load a view. Now that we have our routes setup, we will start our work with the home page. Views The File Structure Let’s create the files necessary for creating a whole templating system. - app -- views --- layouts ------- default.blade.php ------- sidebar.blade.php --- pages ------- home.blade.php ------- about.blade.php ------- projects.blade.php ------- contact.blade.php --- includes ------- head.blade.php ------- header.blade.php ------- footer.blade.php ------- sidebar.blade.php Includes We will use the head, header, and footer includes so that we don’t have to rewrite that code. <!
