960 Grid System Streamline Web Development Workflow The 960 Grid System is an effort to streamline web development workflow by providing commonly used dimensions, based on a width of 960 pixels. There are two variants: 12 and 16 columns, which can be used separately or in tandem. The premise of the system is ideally suited to rapid prototyping, but it would work equally well when integrated into a production environment. There are printable sketch sheets, design layouts, and a CSS file that have identical measurements. All modern monitors support at least 1024 × 768 pixel resolution. 960 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320 and 480. This makes it a highly flexible base number to work with.

Introducing HTML’s new template element You may have heard of Web Components, a suite of emerging standards that make it possible to build secure reusable widgets using web platform technologies. One of the first specs to make its way into implementation is HTML Templates, embodied by the template element, which as I write this is implemented in Chrome Canary and Firefox Nightly. If you've used Mustache, Handlebars or any similar front-end templating library you'll be quite familiar with how the template element works: you just include it in your document (it's apparently legal inside head or body), perhaps with a unique id for easy reference and add some markup inside it; for example: The template element will be parsed by the browser but not rendered in the page; the markup inside is considered completely inert, meaning no style rules will be applied and no assets loaded. In order to use the template markup you'll need to activate it by placing it into the DOM using JavaScript. View Demo

Absolute Positioning Inside Relative Positioning A page element with relative positioning gives you the control to absolutely position children elements inside of it. To some, this is obvious. To others, this may be one of those CSS "Ah-ha!" Moments. I remember it being a big deal for me when I first "got it". Here is a visual: Learning WebGL A year ago, at a biggest-ever, record-breaking HTML5 Meetup in San Francisco all about WebGL, I predicted we were a tipping point; I think I was right. Let’s take a look at 2014, a banner year for 3D on the web! A Year of Great Content John Cale and Liam Young’s City of Drones brought together experiments in music and architecture; Isaac Cohen continued to blow minds with visualizations like Weird Kids and Webby; Google’s A Spacecraft for All chronicled the 36-year journey of the ISEE-3 space probe; and SKAZKA showed us an alternate world created by The Mill and powered by Goo.

Customize an HTML5 Webpage using the Bootstrap Framework Many web developers are familiar with Twitter Bootstrap and have seen this library on a number of projects. The Bootstrap core is fantastic when you need a CSS reset along with other common layout features. It may not be the right fit on projects where you need a whole lot of customization. Grid design basics: Grids for Web page layouts By CraigGrannell Introduction Since tables were co-opted for layout purposes, columns have become key to many Web design layouts, and this thinking continued when CSS took over from tables (at least in the minds of savvy designers) for Web-page presentation. However, other fields of layout design don’t think in arbitrary columns, they work with grids, and these form the basis for the structure of page designs. This article will provide the lowdown on grid design for Web pages.
