Bolt
Bolt is designed to be flexibly sized and responsive, and to progressively enhance. Base classes concentrate on layout techniques, and optional vertical rhythms and horizontal grids are included. Bolt does not give you any colour. Bolt prefers CSS over JavaScript. Bolt's classes come with behaviour attached. Events are delegated, so there are no plugins to call to make these interactive elements work. <a href="#time">Time is an illusion. Try it: Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so
The Incredible Em & Elastic Layouts with CSS
Almost a year ago, Ty Gossman over at Stylegala asked me to write an article about elastic layouts. The best I could do was a quick email between work. I always meant to come good on that. This article will walk you through creating a basic elastic layout; what exactly an “em” is and how to calculate them, how to use ems to create an elastic layer for content with scalable text and images, including basic vertical rhythm. What is an Elastic Layout? An elastic layout scales with users’ text size. More accurately, an elastic interface scales with browser text size—commonly a default of 16px—which users can change if they wish. Elastic design uses em values for all elements. They are calculated based on the font size of the parent element. See the elastic layout example. For other live elastic examples, visit Dan Cederholm’s beautiful and elastic SimpleBits, or resize text on this site. Introducing Em, the Elastigirl of CSS The em is a unit of measurement in typography. Getting Started N.B.

Debugger, Responsive Design View and more in Firefox Aurora 15
Firefox 15 is now in the Aurora channel and has some big new features and improvements to the built-in tools for web developers. JavaScript Debugging Firefox now ships with a Debugger (available via the Web Developer menu, or with the ctrl-shift-S/cmd-opt-S keyboard shortcut). Use this tool to quickly hunt down problems in your JavaScript code. Quickly Get to the Source When you open the Debugger, all of the page’s scripts are listed in a menu. Of course, there are two other easy ways to get to the source you care about. Once you are looking at the source you care about, you can set a breakpoint by clicking to the left of the line number in the view of the JavaScript source. When the Debugger has Paused Your Script Once your script has been paused by the Debugger, the stack frames are listed in the pane on the left and the in-scope variables are displayed in the pane on the right. Under the Hood It’s fast! In a future article, we’ll show you how to do that. Responsive Design View Layout View

CSS Font Shorthand Property Cheat Sheet
In the past I’ve displayed some serious animosity towards the CSS font shorthand property, so I feel I should make up for it. After all, the font shorthand property was just minding its own business, trying to save developers some lines of code, and I come along and declare it an outcast. So, although I still don’t agree with ever using font shorthand, I do think it’s important that CSS developers understand how it works. So to make up for my former font shorthand hostilities, I’ve prepared a printable cheat sheet that you can download and hang next to your computer, which will come in handy in case you decide to use this property yourself, or are forced use it in a stylesheet from an inherited project. Enjoy! Download the CSS Font Shorthand Cheat Sheet (PDF) Advertise Here Comment Rules: Please use a real name or alias. Instructions for code snippets: Wrap inline code in <code> tags; wrap blocks of code in <pre> and <code> tags.

A FAQ on various IRC channels I help out on is How do I vertically center my stuff inside this area? This question is often followed by I'm using vertical-align:middle but it's not working! The problem here is three-fold: HTML layout traditionally was not designed to specify vertical behavior. vertical-align in table cells When used in table cells, vertical-align does what most people expect it to, which is mimic the (old, deprecated) valign attribute. <td valign="middle"><! Shown in your browser, the above (with appropriate wrappers) display as: <div> using display:table-cell; vertical-align:middle <div> using display:table-cell; vertical-align:bottom vertical-align on inline elements When vertical-align is applied to inline elements, however, it's a whole new ballgame. <img align="middle" ... In your browser, here's how the above code renders: In this paragraph, I have two images— and —as examples. vertical-align on other elements So how do I vertically-center something?!
