Lets have it. How are you guys structuring your CSS files?
I have been having a think about this over the last few days. My research
attempts have failed because most the articles i came across were outdated -
so i tend not to trust them.
One method i thought about (not sure if it's been coined)
re - How are you guys structuring your CSS files?
for me, multiple css files for different parts of the page is harder
to manage. I'm pretty old school keep everything within the 1 css
file (within reason). this also means 1 http request which is good.
exceptions are if you had a massive admin
Now that's a question to spark debate!
Without leaning one way or another there are a number of different
approaches you might try.
Have you considered CSS frameworks such as Blueprint CSS[1] or the 960
grid system[2]? These approaches help to standardize your CSS by
providing the basic page

I don't think you should leave the list over one person's comments if you
are benefiting from other people's feedback.
Libraries probably shouldn't fit under individual departments, but under the
organisation's umbrella - I am particularly thinking of university
libraries. If you are a
Tables shouldn't be used for layouts, use style sheets instead, but they
should be used for *information* which lends itself well to a table. If you
are trying to display data in an organised format, which requires columns
and rows, then use a table.

Hi,
I realise tables shouldn't be used for layouts. Doesn't this information suit a
table structure though (tabular data)? If not what would you use?
Cheers

As far as I can tell without knowing the specifics of the data, it looks
like information that suits a table - just as you have displayed it. I was
confused by your question starting with 'Would the following layout...' so I
thought it was worth pointing out that layouts shouldn't be done using

anyone think of a way to do this that would not affect the sub-menu?

Hi,
I have a question I'd like to poll people about. Should we still bother
designing to fit in with 800x600 screen resolutions or is it Ok to just
design for 1024x768 and not worry about smaller resolutions? I know
applications like Google Desktop make it more complicated and am
interested
make it fluid and everyone will be happy :)
doesn't matter if we have 300px or 1280px, your website should (ok,
with some restrictions, like 800-1024) adapt to user's needs

That is the key.
If the users are technical you would not bother designing for 800 x 600
screens
if the users are internal and they work on smaller screens, you would.

Depends on the targeted audience and what designer I work with.
Sometimes we design for 800x600 while other times the designer we create
for 1024 and we have no choice but to use those dimensions whether we
like it or not.

Remove the table, put a fieldset around then apply float to label input

It probably has been asked before - but the answer is likely to change
with time (as monitor sizes vary or normalize) so the question is
still as relevant as ever.
If you were to ask the question to Jakob Nielson, he would say
optimize for 1024x768 [1] and provide a liquid content area.
But you

How are you guys structuring your CSS files?
I am currently in the process of restructuring our CSS. The approach I'm
looking into is as follows:
1) use Eric Meyer's reset CSS to create a common base
2) use Blueprint's grid.css for the grid layer
3) use a component CSS layer to

The way I structure my CSS is very much like you said - taking the Software
Development principles of Object-Oriented programming, and is pretty much
inline with what everyone else has said.
I generally break my CSS up to the following categories:
- reset.css : Reset all browser defaults.
I would say Absolutely, absoutely and absolutely!
My reasoning for this is simple: what about the rest of those users who *don't
browse the internet with the browser in full screen*? As a matter of fact
I'm doing it right now, so thank god GMail scales gracefully, or I probably
wouldn't use it!
