5. div.messy {
• CSS can be written as you want, it should work, but font-color: blue;
overflow: hidden;
have you thought in your teammates?
display: none;
• You could avoid some discussions with other Css height: auto;
position: absolute;
developers.
font-size: 15px;
text-decoration: none;
• People who don’t play with CSS everyday can help you box-shadow: 0 1px black;
without add more complexity to the file. -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
width:100px;
• Waste time searching properties in a reaaaally large font-style: normal;
CSS class. letter-spacing: -1px;
background: url(‘../lol.png’);
• If in your team there are more than 2 developers, margin-top: 20px;
I think this is a must. padding-bottom: 10px;
...
}
6. So, this is my proposal...
It likely shouldn’t fit for you
7. Classification & positioning 1/5
• First should be the classification and positioning of
div.less_messy {
the “box”.
clear: left;
• Importance queue?, it could be: display: block;
position: absolute;
- clear top: 4px;
- display right: 3px;
- position bottom: 5px;
- top || right || bottom || left left: 2px;
- z-index z-index: 10;
- float float: none;
- overflow overflow: auto;
- vertical-align
... ...
}
• As we know, some properties depend on previous ones.
8. Dimension 2/5
• Now is time to declare the object dimensions.
div.less_messy {
• The list is: ...
- width (min|max) width: 150px;
- height (min|max) height: 20px;
- padding padding: 10px 5px 3px;
- margin margin: 3px;
...
• It’s true that margin property should be in positioning }
chapter, but I’ve always thought it has to be written with
height, width and padding (mania?).
9. Box 3/5
• Is box a pretty good title name? I’m not really sure, but we
are going to style it ;).
div.less_messy {
• SOME of these properties would be: ...
- background background: red;
- box-shadow box-shadow: 0 1px black;
- border border: none;
- zoom translate: rotate(45deg);
- translate border-radius: 3px;
- border-radius ...
- border-image
... }
• There is no importance of order...
10. Text 4/5
• And almost last, but no less important.
div.less_messy {
• Just a few of them:
...
- font font: normal 11px Arial;
- color
color: rgba(0,0,0,0.7);
- text-decoration
text-decoration: none;
- letter-spacing
line-height: 11px;
- text-transform
- line-height text-transform: uppercase;
- text-align ...
- word-spacing
...
}
• A great idea is put color after font, why?
I don’t know, who cares?
11. div.less_messy {
End 5/5 clear: left;
display: block;
position: absolute;
• There are some (... several) of properties do not top: 4px;
right: 3px;
specified here, like list, table,... don’t worry, just bottom: 5px;
order yourself to keep clean your CSS. left: 2px;
z-index: 10;
float: none;
• This is an example of CSS order guide. overflow: auto;
width: 150px;
height: 20px;
• Let’s make it clear together. padding: 10px 5px 3px;
margin: 3px;
background: red;
box-shadow: 0 1px black;
border: none;
translate: rotate(45deg);
border-radius: 3px;
font: normal 11px Arial;
color: rgba(0,0,0,0.7);
text-decoration: none;
• Some advices? why not, go next slide. line-height: 11px;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
12. Advices! 1/2
• Try to avoid using long style of the property, e.g. border, margin, etc.
border-color: red;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
border: 1px solid red;
• But if you want to change just a single property with a new class (e.g.), it’s
time to use minified property...
border: 1px solid blue;
border-color: blue;
13. Advices! 2/2
• There are some specific CSS3 properties for each browser, write all followed:
translate: rotate(45deg);
-moz-translate: rotate(45deg);
-ms-translate: rotate(45deg)
...
• Do the same with the “hacks” for IE (in case you use them of course...):
border: 1px solid blue;
border: 1px solid white8;
border: 1px solid white9;
14. Remember once more!
This is not a guide to improve the world, use just
in case you find it useful...
