CSS Tips I Wish I Knew When I First Started I’ve been working with CSS for quite a while now, and even though it’s relatively easy to learn, there are always new tips and tricks to be found. I’m learning new stuff all the time. I wanted to take a moment to put together this helpful list of CSS tips I wish I knew when I first started. Use Overflow: Hidden; to Clear Floats It wasn’t until recently that my style sheets were littered with unnecessary clearing floats that looked like the following. These clearing floats will work perfectly fine, but they are unnecessary. Group Elements Together One of the mantras of good coding 101 is to keep your code as simple and concise as possible. You can group these elements like so… Comments Are Important Many of the sites that I create are 1-man projects. Add Some Base Styles to the Body This goes back to the code-less principle I discussed earlier. Use Some Kind of CSS Reset Use CSS Shorthand This is me preaching about writing as little code as possible again! When you can shorten it to this
Style Master CSS Editor for Windows and Mac OS X Cool Tools and Toys for Web Developers John, the lead developer (ok, pretty much the only developer) of Style Master is an avowed hacker. He loves exploring and experimenting with the latest features in browsers. Here's a collection of tools for web developers he's put together to help you analyse and debug your sites (and other people's sites as well), play with CSS3 features (bleeding edge browsers recommended) and more. XRAY works in Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer. XRAY uses lots of cool CSS3 features like border-radius, opacity, box and text shadow, as well as the HTML5 canvas. MRI helps you create the best possible selectors for your CSS. MRI also uses lots of cool CSS3 features like border-radius, opacity, box and text shadow, as well as the HTML5 canvas. CSS3 Sandbox Gradients Explore CSS gradients (both linear and radial) (an experimental feature in Safari 4, and a proposed addition to CSS3). Shadows CSS now lets you create drop shadows on text, and on the box of an element.
Multiple Backgrounds and Borders with CSS 2.1 – Nicolas Gallagher — Blog & Ephemera Using CSS 2.1 pseudo-elements to provide up to 3 background canvases, 2 fixed-size presentational images, and multiple complex borders for a single HTML element. This method of progressive enhancement works for all browsers that support CSS 2.1 pseudo-elements and their positioning. No CSS3 support required. Support: Firefox 3.5+, Safari 4+, Chrome 4+, Opera 10+, IE8+. How does it work? Essentially, you create pseudo-elements using CSS (:before and :after) and treat them similarly to how you would treat HTML elements nested within your target element. To provide multiple backgrounds and/or borders, the pseudo-elements are pushed behind the content layer and pinned to the desired points of the HTML element using absolute positioning. The pseudo-elements contain no true content and are absolutely positioned. What effects can be achieved? Most structural elements will contain child elements. Example code: multiple background images Each pseudo-element then has a repeated background-image set.
CSS Vertical Text | ScottGale.com Many people have written about the potential for vertical text in CSS so I wanted to try it out for myself. By using the technique described below I was able to achieve this effect: *Disclaimer: This doesn’t work in old Opera versions, but does work in Opera 10.5. This also works in IE6+, FF, and Webkit based browsers, so that is pretty encompassing. Here is the basic markup: <p>CSS Vertical Text</p> I wanted to try to do my best to exclude IE browser checks and conditional checks. Also, if I can stay away from IE filters I like too, but it’s worth mentioning that if you have an specific rotation, you have to use the IE filter: filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=3); Where 0, 1, 2, 3 correlate to 0, 90, 180, and 270 respectively. So I tried to keep this one simple, but lining everything up in different browsers can be a pain because of the way each browser interprets the spacing. Information for this post was pulled from the following places:
