Things They Never Tell You In Css School

The best thing about css is its ability to leave your head numb and your knuckles aching from whacking your monitor in the eye.

Things I should Do Instead

test
  • Learn to write PHP that does not return errors.
  • Sleep more.
  • Things that don't require me to sit at a computer.
  • Use tables.
  • Preach about “Semantics” like everyone else around here.
  • Use tables when a DIV doesn't cut the mustard.

CSS: stuff nightmares are made of

#rightcol { 
position:relative;
vertical-align:top; 
width: 18%;
margin-left: 3.6%; 
display: inline-block; 
padding-left:2em; 
text-align:left;
}

Here's some wise advise.

“Oh, what a tangled website we weave when first we practice.”

The Laboratory

Let's experiment

I call this section The Laboratory because this is where all the experimenting will be done.

While in the Tutorials section you can find “plain“ stuff, here you will find all kinds of things: mostly things i cook up to see if it works.

The links at the bottom of this column are divided in main areas where you can find the goodies.

You'll notice that the pages containing the experiments, will always have a menu which, if necessary, gives you the option to go to similar stuff. For instance, the page that contains an experimental navigation menu, will have a link to another kind of experimental menu and so on.

You should be aware that these experiments are not tested in each and every browser. This means that older versions likely will not support the stuff that's portrait here.

Oh, before i forget: where i have picked up an idea along the way that i use to experiment with, i will of course give due credit to whomever needs/deserves it :-).

So relax, sit back and enjoy the ride! And don't hesitate to contact me if something isn't clear or my explaining is wrong.
