CSS tricks and tips

I have compiled a list of articles that better explain valid CSS and xHTML code. It’s becoming more commonly to use valid CSS. And we all know how much time we are spending in all those hacks and fixes for various browsers. I will keep adding to this list, so stay tuned.

1. Rounded corners without images

<div id=”container”>
<b class=”rtop”>
<b class=”r1″></b> <b class=”r2″></b> <b class=”r3″></b> <b class=”r4″></b>
</b>
<!–content goes here –>
<b class=”rbottom”>
<b class=”r4″></b> <b class=”r3″></b> <b class=”r2″></b> <b class=”r1″></b>
</b>
</div>

.rtop, .rbottom{display:block}
.rtop *, .rbottom *{display: block; height: 1px; overflow: hidden}
.r1{margin: 0 5px}
.r2{margin: 0 3px}
.r3{margin: 0 2px}
.r4{margin: 0 1px; height: 2px}

2. Style your order list

<ol>
<li>
<p>This is line one</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Here is line two</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>And last line</p>
</li>
</ol>

ol {
font: italic 1em Georgia, Times, serif;
color: #999999;
}

ol p {
font: normal .8em Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #000000;
}

3. Tableless forms

<form>
<label for=”name”>Name</label>
<input id=”name” name=”name”><br>
<label for=”address”>Address</label>
<input id=”address” name=”address”><br>
<label for=”city”>City</label>
<input id=”city” name=”city”><br>
</form>

label,input {
display: block;
width: 150px;
float: left;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}

label {
text-align: right;
width: 75px;
padding-right: 20px;
}

br {
clear: left;
}

4. Double blockquote

blockquote:first-letter {
background: url(images/open-quote.gif) no-repeat left top;
padding-left: 18px;
font: italic 1.4em Georgia, “Times New Roman”, Times, serif;
}

5. Gradient text effect

<h1><span></span>CSS Gradient Text</h1>

h1 {
font: bold 330%/100% “Lucida Grande”;
position: relative;
color: #464646;
}
h1 span {
background: url(gradient.png) repeat-x;
position: absolute;
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 31px;
}

<!–[if lt IE 7]>
<style>
h1 span {
background: none;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=’gradient.png’, sizingMethod=’scale’);
}
</style>
<![endif]–>
