Pardon my double post. I only read the digest, and forgot to send through the Google Groups to give followup.
Here is my answer: ---------------------- >8 --------------------------------- To answer Fred Riley, about "Dropdown menu: top left caret<http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-bootstrap/t/3e4603e1a873aac> ": Here is my first review of your code. It is not really related to Twitter Bootstrap itself, but since I happen sometimes to sniff "new to web development" people, I thought I could guide you a bit. My observations: *File name served on the web* Please, do not use @ character in a file name, characters such as @, (spaces), (comas ","), &, and %; accented characters are not recommended either for any file name that are exposed to the http protocol. Not that it cannot work, it is just that it is a convention and mostly do not mixup transforming your file from "my beautiful file name with a % in it.css" to "my%20beautiful%20file%20name%20with%20a%20%25%20and%20a%20%26%20in%20it.css". This is called url encoding. And can be causing problem to you in the future. Same could apply for CamelCasing, if you happen to use Windows as a web server, it doesnt' take into account camel CASE and on a Linux server, you may not find the file either. Good to read regarding URL: - http://warpspire.com/posts/url-design/ *Unused attributes* I saw you put class="" in some cases, it is always better to not leave those kind of attributes. Nothing harmful though :) *Use of <br>* The BR in your li could be replaced with a , but think, you could have done a #leftnav .sidebar-nav .nav-header { margin-bottom: 30px; } But beware, - if you always want to have space after the .nav-header, you should ommit the #leftNav, because it binds to the document id - you forgot to add the .nav classname along with the sidebar-nav. This is because you may want to affect all "nav" type of blocks. Good read about CSS structure - http://www.slideshare.net/stubbornella/object-oriented-css - Nicolle Sullivan is one of the prominent author describing css architecture - http://www.slideshare.net/nataliedowne/css-systems-presentation - Nathalie Downe also wrote a very concise presentation on the subject - if you use W3Schools... please stop right now! > http://w3fools.com/ * * *Last* Also, I am currently creating a "best practices" site that is there to give advice to people who wants to learn to do web development. http://htmlcsstherightway.org/ It is a "fork me" style of site and even though the site is dormant for now (I have tons of content to write, but not the time) I have put some good pointers. Hope it helped *Renoir B.* ~
