Web Design
Web Design, likley a lot about what you should and should not do in web design from a coding and design standpoint as relating to usability or “web site common sense”.
CSS Shorthand
Jul 31st
Looking around for my last CSS post about cross-browser transparency I ran into a post about 5 Cool CSS Tricks on BrightCherry.co.uk by a dude named Maruf which reminded me of some other cool CSS that I find useful. Here is one of those – CSS Shorthands.
CSS Shorthand
CSS can get quicker and easier to use if you know some of the shorthand properties (more CSS shorthand properties). For example you could code a background image and its placement like this:
CSS Shorthand for Background
.backgrnd {
background-image: url(images/background.jpg);
background-position: top center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
You could do it that way or you could use shorthand:
.backgrnd {
background: url(images/background.jpg) top center no-repeat;
}
CSS Shorthand for Font
.maxedoutfont {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
font-variant: small-caps;
}
You could do it that way or you could use shorthand:
.maxedoutfont {
font: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif 12px/14px bold italic small-caps;
}
Note that, as Maruf mentioned in his post, you must specify at least the font-family and font-size. If you do not specify line-height, font-weight, font-style or font-variant then normal (the CSS defaults) will be used/inherited.
Cross browser CSS Transparency
Jul 31st
I had to rip this off of Chris Coyier’s www.css-tricks.com because I want to be able to find it more easily.
.transparent_class {
filter:alpha(opacity=50);
-moz-opacity:0.5;
-khtml-opacity: 0.5;
opacity: 0.5;
}
Also from the same post, this info defines what the different parts of this code do:
opacity: 0.5: most versions of Firefox, Safari, and Opera
This is the “most important” one because it is the current standard in CSS. This will work in most versions of Firefox, Safari, and Opera. This would be all you need if all browsers supported current standards. Which, of course, they don’t.filter:alpha(opacity=50): Internet Explorer
-moz-opacity:0.5: Netscape
You need this one to support way old school versions of the Mozilla browsers like Netscape Navigator.-khtml-opacity: 0.5: old versions of Safari (1.x)
This is for way old versions of Safari (1.x) when the rendering engine it was using was still referred to as KTHML, as opposed to the current WebKit.
