The 1140px CSS Grid System · Fluid down to mobile
11:57AM — Tuesday, April 9, 2013. It’s been about two and a half years since I released the 1140px CSS Grid. Initial response was exciting; lots of people used it. However, a lot has happened in that time. When it was released, the concept of Responsive Web Design was in its infancy (I’d never heard of it). Over time, I—and the rest of the web community—have learnt how to do Responsive Web Design properly. I’m not comfortable with people continuing to use the framework. So it is now retired.

css3 menu,animation navigation menu In this new category called “Tips and Tricks” we will introduce some quick and interesting methods around web development and web design. In today’s tip we’ll show you how to spice up your menu by adding a neat hover effect to it. The idea is to slide an image out to the right when hovering over a menu item. Each menu item (which is a unordered list item in this case) will have an anchor containing two spans and an image: <ul class="mh-menu"><li><a href="#"><span>Art Director</span><span>Henry James</span></a><img src="images/1.jpg" alt="image01"/></li><!-- ...

ntent with Style - A CSS Framework In my Modular CSS article I documented the possibility of breaking down stylesheets into components that could be reused across projects. All well and good. The next logical step is to extend this to become a CSS framework, allowing rapid development of sites with pre-written and tested components. All that's really required to produce this is a set of naming conventions and a flexible base template... Who is this for? If you've been creating sites with CSS for a while you may be getting frustrated with having to recreate and retest basic layouts on a regular basis.

Grid Designer 2 If you're familiar with the grid, a bit of design and basic typography, using this script should be pretty easy - most of the functions are pretty self-explanatory. If you're unfamiliar with grids in general, you could start by reading an excellent series of articles by web designer Mark Boulton. For those who want a real understanding of the theory of grids in relation to design and typography, I strongly recommend this book. On the Columns tab, you can start your design in two ways: Fill in the number of columns, total width, gutters and margin widths, all specified in pixels - then press the design button. Recalculate the settings in various ways by clicking the row of buttons located next to each setting.

Internet Explorer CSS3 PIE: CSS3 decorations for IE Grid-A-Licious Back in mid 2008, I created a jQuery plugin. I named it Grid-A-Licious and described it as, "Divs are placed in chronological order with a special grid" because I had no clue how to explain it better. I used this script a lot and designed many sites with it during 2008. At first, people were very skeptic and confused on how to read the grid, and thought this kind of layout belonged in real papers. This reaction slowly faded away once the layout became more and more popular when different developers and designers started to create their own script's interpretation of the floating grid layout effect.
