My Emerging CSS System
I’ve been thinking about javascript, sass, css, and the DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) principle a bit too much today.

Read MoreFixing Jagged Rendering on CSS Shapes and Arrows in Firefox
I\’ve been using the border elements on divs to create useful shapes, like arrows, like on this page. Unfortunately, recently Firefox recently began having trouble rendering the diagonals — making them appear jagged, and just not very pleasing.

Read MoreFixed position div isn’t staying fixed in Chrome
I was working on a little menu specifically for mobile devices. It was intended that this menu stay fixed at the bottom of the screen. It usually worked, but in some instances in chrome, it would be thrown all the way to the bottom of the document, not the bottom of the window. It looks […]

Read Morewhy is 100% width body or div wider than the screen on mobile?
I’d been struggling with this one for quite a bit. I figured it was something stupid, but no matter what I did, whenever I set the width of my body, html, and/or div tag to 100% (I’d totally stripped down my testing page to the simplest of elements to see why it wasn’t working), the […]
Read MoreAn updated 2 Column (Fluid Fixed) Layout
An alternate method for 2 columns, with a fixed column on the right and fluid on the left. The main goal here was to be able to have the secondary column (\’.col-right\’) appear above the main column (\’.col-main’) when the screen width was decreased. This wan\’t possible with the other method for achieving the column […]
Read MoreIncluding Border and Padding In Box Dimensions
Generally when I’m assigning a width or height to a div, I want it to be that width or height. Yet some genius, whoever came up with the CSS box model, decided that the width of the box wouldn’t actually include the padding or border as part of the width. Fortunately, we can now include […]
