  • The new CSS3 pro­perty border-image is a lit­tle tricky, but it can allow you to create fle­xi­ble boxes with custom bor­ders (or drop sha­dows, if that’s your thing) with a sin­gle div and a sin­gle image. In this arti­cle I explain how the border-image shor­thand pro­perty works in today’s browsers.

  • Can we start using the CSS3 media que­ries today?

    Yes we can!

    The main pro­blem of the CSS3 media que­ries is they will not work in the older browsers .

    CSS3 media que­ries will not work in IE8 (and lower) also bro­w­sers lower then Firefox 3.5, Safari 3, and Opera 7. Basically the main pro­blem is IE and the older ver­sion of Firefox.

    For the mobile web bro­w­sers this solu­tion should work for the modern web­kit and opera bro­w­sers that sup­port CSS3 media queries.

    I tried to resolve this pro­blem by pro­vi­ding pure CSS solu­tion for 95% of mar­ket share PC bro­w­sers and JavaScript solu­tion for the rest of the browsers.

  • This arti­cle is for web desi­gners and front-end web deve­lo­pers who are inte­re­sted in grid-based lay­out systems but are at a loss on how to deci­pher them.

    We’ll focus spe­ci­fi­cally on the 960 Grid System, but after rea­ding this guide, you’ll find that most of the other grid systems out there are simi­lar and will make much more sense after you under­stand a few basic principles.

  • The per­fect book. This is how designer-genius Jan Tschichold descri­bed this system. Not the ok book, nor the pretty good book, but the per­fect book.

    This method exi­sted long before the com­pu­ter, the prin­ting press and even a defi­ned mea­su­ring unit. No picas or points, no inches or mil­li­me­ters. It can be used with nothing more than a straight edge, a piece of paper and a pencil.

    And you can still use it. This is a system which is still as valid, beau­ti­ful and ele­gant with ultra-modern design as it ever was for the work of the scri­bes, Gutenberg and Tschichold.
