Less Framework 4 I called Less Framework "a CSS grid system for designing adaptive websites". It was basically a fixed-width grid that adapted to a couple of then popular screen widths by shedding some of its columns. It also had matching typographic presets to go with it, built with a modular scale based on the golden ratio. The resources it was originally published with are still available on GitHub. Contrary to how most CSS frameworks work, Less Framework simply provided a set of code comments and visual templates, instead of having predefined classes to control the layout with. /* Default Layout: 992px. Less Framework was popular in the early days of responsive design. Eventually, I moved on from fixed-width grid systems and worked on a fully fluid-width one, in the form of Golden Grid System. Less Framework's popularity was helped by the following contributions and the lovely people behind them (dead links crossed off):
David Baron's weblog: setTimeout with a shorter delay On Sunday, somebody with the nickname {g} was on irc.mozilla.org asking about the behavior of setTimeout. In particular, he wanted to divide up work into a bunch of pieces in a way that allowed the user to interact with the page while the work was happening, and was doing this by doing a piece of the work, and then making a setTimeout call to continue the work. (In some cases, this could also be done using workers.) Unfortunately for him, setTimeout in most browsers doesn't allow a delay less than about 10 milliseconds (it forces any smaller delays to be longer), so the work wasn't finishing as fast as it could. (Chrome has changed this to 2 milliseconds, though, and apparently had some problems with it.) A while ago, Jeff Walden suggested to me that Web pages could get the equivalent of setTimeout, with a real zero delay, using postMessage. // Only add setZeroTimeout to the window object, and hide everything // else in a closure.

Skeleton: Beautiful Boilerplate for Responsive, Mobile-Friendly Development Iframe loading techniques and performance First publication: December 20, 2010 Iframe setTimeout() does not work in IE9 Chad Barnsdale of Unfinishedman.com mentioned to me on May 25 that the Iframe setTimeout() technique does not work in IE9. And he was right. Iframes are often used to load third party content, ads and widgets. Iframes block onload of the main page The main page and iframe share the same connection pool The onload blocking is the biggest problem of the two and hurts performance the most. How can you load an iframe without blocking onload and as a result improve page performance? This article shows 4 ways to load an iframe in a web page: Normal Iframe, Iframe After Onload, Iframe setTimeout() and Dynamic Asynch Iframe. Normal Iframe You all know this one. Using the Normal Iframe technique will result in the following behaviour in all browsers: Click for bigger version. My advice: be aware of the onload blocking. Iframe After Onload Click for bigger version. What do you gain by this versus the Normal Iframe?
