I don't want to get into a war here, but the reason I don't use anything like 960grid or Blueprint is that I believe that kind of fixed-width design is great for print, but completely inappropriate for the Web. I'm a big believer in liquid, degradable layouts -- IMHO if you need to say "best viewed at 1024 x 768", you've already failed quite badly. That said, if you *do* need to use one of those frameworks, I highly recommend using Compass to get the extra abstraction that CSS alone can't give you. Otherwise you'll wind up with lots of presentation-based classes, which is a poor way to structure your CSS. > > Best > > Matt Best, -- Marnen Laibow-Koser http://www.marnen.org [email protected] Sent from my iPhone -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
