Hello all,
I have just finished the wireframes phase for this project, and now the
designer is creating the final layouts for each of those pages.
I must develop the CSS for those 100 pages and I'm really afraid about
the fact that, I will have, almost surely, rules that will overwrite
each other and it will be a mess, sooner or later.
Let's say the designer has establish a vertical space between the h2
titles and the rest, to be something around 10px.
Let's suppose that by looking to those wireframes, I can say that all my
h2 will have a padding-bottom of 10px.
However, if later on, I create a rule telling that the ul will have a
margin top of 5px... (because almost all may have that attribute) if I
place the h2 on top of this ul, instead of the desired 10px, we will end
up with 15px... and there, I ask: where/how should I subtract those
extra 5 ?
This is only an example, this is some sort of conflict that happen A LOT
while I'm creating the css.
So I would like to ask, without generating must discussion around it,
what methodologies should we look at, in order to start and organize our
work, while creating the css files, preserving the DRY principle?
Thanks in advance,
Márcio
