So here I am, asking the question. :)
Indeed, but posting a question about jade and html on the node list is like calling up the power company and asking questions about how to use your hoover vacuum. All vacuums need power, but not all uses of power are for vacuuming. That's why I asked to clarify. Hopefully someone who's knowledgeable about jade can help. From the docs, I only see how to iterate over arrays. As far as the specific html and css to use, there are a great many answers to that question and it depends on your front-end architecture and preferences. The easiest is probably to online a style tag into each of your divs and use absolute width and height. But it's not always the best solution for many reasons. > > B. > > On Thu, Aug 16, 2012 at 1:18 PM, Tim Caswell <[email protected]> wrote: >> It depends on what you're doing.
