The Highly Extensible CSS Interface
April 2 2008
Something for me to read: The Highly Extensible CSS Interface. I’ve been meaning to spend more time learning additional web development technologies and this link seems along those lines.

Title Attribute for Stylesheet Links
February 27 2008
This is one of those things that I never knew: Correctly Using Titles With External Stylesheets.
Apparently, adding a title attribute to an external stylesheet link makes browsers consider it a preferred stylesheet and will exclude any other externally linked stylesheets. Leaving out the title attribute from the link simply defaults it to persistent status, the default. Interesting because it could conceivably result in styles not getting applied; I imagine that this has come up before or will come up in the future.

Note to Self: Floats
March 3 2005
A little follow up on the latest float clearing method, mezzoblue | Clearance. The verdict? Good for some situations but not others, especially those where you’re dealing with wide content. A run-down of float clearing methods:
- Make the container a float - which results in some positioning issues
- Adding a clearing element after the floats - adds extra(neous) markup
- Using generated elements (see Position is Everything) to clear the float - Doesn’t work in Internet Explorer
- and this latest, adding
overflow: auto- which can cause scroll bars when the inner float’s width expands beyond its container.

Simple Clearing of Floats
March 2 2005
I’ll be damned. It pays off to actually read the weblog feeds I follow. Thanks to this timely link, Simple Clearing of Floats | 456 Berea Street I have a potentially better approach to formatting web forms. It will take some experimenting but by being able to contain floated label elements within a cleared (and semantic) block element (a p for example) then I can better style lines and thus form elements without adding any extraneous markup.

On Print Stylesheets
February 23 2005
I can’t believe how long I went around and around the problem where my printer-specific stylesheet generated only one page in Mozilla Firefox cutting off any content that went beyond. And even though I was looking right at the solution here, Print Stylesheets - css-discuss it still took much too much naval gazing before I realized that I hadn’t applied the position: static property to the main page containers. Much too much time.
