Making a Perfect Grid

"Making a grid of equal height elements has always been a challenge using traditional CSS layout techniques, but it’s something to which CSS tables are well suited. For example, if we want to create an image gallery comprising a grid of images withcaptions, such as the one shown in image1, using a CSS table renders the task simple.

The markup for our gallery is as follows:

Each gallery image cell is comprised of an img element and a caption in a p element contained within a div element with a class of image. Each row is contained within a div element within a class of row, and the whole gallery is containedwithin a div with a class of grid.

The CSS required to lay out our grid is simple:

The above CSS is fairly straightforward, but you might notice how we’ve made use of the border-spacing property to control the spacing of our gallery image cells.Making a grid layout couldn’t be easier—and we’ve avoided any headaches overequal heights or fragile layouts made with floated elements."

What is CSS Framework?

“A CSS framework is a library that is meant to allow for easier, more standards-compliant styling of a webpage using the Cascading Style Sheets language. Just like programming and scripting language libraries, CSS frameworks package a number of ready-made options for designing and outlaying a webpage.” - Wikipedia

How to use this Framework?

Just use it like normal CSS:---

link rel="stylesheet" href="print.css" type="text/css" media="print"

Important: media set to “print”

When you print the browser will use the stylesheet defined for printing.

fixed horizontal position in IE

Where the user needs to scroll sideways. Menu and buttons at the bottom stay fixed. This works great in every browser except IE. When user tried using a width for the containing element and using position:absolute; instead, but that also doesn’t do the trick.

Use this in style in body :---

[width:100%;height:100%;overflow:hidden]
#scrollablediv{height:100%;overflow:auto}
#fixedtitle{position:absolute;top:Xpx;left:50%;margin-left:-(halfelementwidth)px}<[note use of negative margin]

Java Update Finally Ships

After a nearly two-month delay, Sun announced this week availability of Java Platform Standard Edition 6 Update 10, which offers an improved startup for applications and applets and drag-and-drop capabilities for applets.

A new Java plug-in in the upgrade allows consumers to drag and drop applets that are running in a browser onto their desktop. Also featured are Java Quick Starter, for an enhanced runtime experience for consumers, and Java Kernel, for getting Java software up and running faster.

The update had been set for release in early early September, but Sun postponed the release because of a last-minute issue that emerged during final testing. The release is downloadable here.

"With Java SE 6 Update 10, Sun is making Java technology easier to install, faster to start and more reliable than ever, resulting in a monumental improvement to the overall consumer experience," said Jeet Kaul, vice president of Java Client Engineering at Sun, in a statement released by the company.

Graphics performance for Java on Windows has been rewritten in the update to leverage Direct3D technology. The Nimbus look and feel in the platform offers enhanced user interface controls for developers, Sun said.
