  • IDS and Class

    @CrocoDillon, @Senff, Firstly, @CrocoDillon would be right that an id cannot have space-separated values. That was a mistake on my end when I was typing up a response to @Junni. Secondly, the faux-id attribute values I gave to the div with the clas…

  • IDS and Class

    @CodeGraphics It seems like it fixed itself (see two comments above yours). Thanks, though, and that's what I was trying to achieve.

    Here's the bit of code to which I was referring. `Some text.` `Some more text` EDIT: Apparently, I'm not able to wrap my text using the code function on this site...

  • IDS and Class

    Html elements can take on as many id and class attribute values as you'd like, so long as they're enclosed in quotes and are separated by spaces. Below are two examples of an element with five id's assigned to it and an element with f…

  • confused about 'relative' and 'absolute' position !

    I agree with everything @Senff and @traq said and will just add (for reasons of clarity) that if position: relative has not been defined for any page element, then the parent of the absolutely positioned element or elements will be the top-most page…

  • confused about 'relative' and 'absolute' position !

    @TheDoc In the cases I've run across, when you need to interact with those elements, a z-index is always required. I agree, however, that when your absolutely positioned elements are solely for design purposes, thinking about z-index isn'…

  • confused about 'relative' and 'absolute' position !

    I don't know whether Chris explains this bit in the video @Paulie_D posted, but because (as you will learn) absolutely positioned elements are no longer part of the document flow, it is important to set a z-index when you want to interact (e.g.…

  • How is a site like this made?

    I'd venture to guess that the reason no one has responded to your question on other forums is because 1) you don't provide a link showing what you've done and, similarly, 2) your question strongly suggests that you want others to pro…

  • Some Links Not Changing

    One issue I notice here is that you have two ID attributes assigned to the nav element. If you want to assign two IDs (or two classes) to an element, it's sufficient to do the following Home About Contact Login Consol…

  • CSS Question

    That's weird. I thought the transition property is only supposed to be applied to the non-pseudo-selector selector (i.e., .home-btn). Is this a browser quirk that requires that the transition property be applied to the psuedo-selector selecto…

    The inconsistency in the horizontal space of the header and footer concerns me. Overall, good job.

  • Blog Page CSS Question

    I don't know if you are aware of this, but people who don't have a Squarespace account are unable to view the blog post on your site. As far as achieving the desired effect, I would use margin to add space between the time stamps and the …

  • Is it appropriate to use [nav] multiple times?

    albeit it really doesn't make much sense to use them multiple times.

  • Is it appropriate to use [nav] multiple times?

    Nav and footer tags can be used multiple times on a page in HTML5, albeit it really doesn't make much sense to use them multiple times. The same is true of header tags so long as they're wrapped in a section or article tag.

  • Is Chris Coyier Always Busy?

    @dfogge There's no need, whatsoever, to flog an already dead horse. I'm sure @codegraphics now understands the forwardness of his message and that his best bet is to patronize the help of other resources on the web.

  • Unordered List Help

    Change the display to display: inline-block, as was suggested by @Paulie_D. Additionally, give the li's a width of 16% (1/6 = 16%). This should make it such that your list items line up from left to right.

  • Does hand-coding make me a good designer?

    If you don't understand what you're coding, is it even appropriate to refer to it as coding? Much in the same way as reading requires a basic facility with language, so coding requires an understanding of basic coding principles.

  • Need Help Positioning div

    I am also slightly confused as to what you want, but if you are concerned about the position of the div with an ID of dvid at smaller breakpoints, I would simply change the property value to something that isn't as wide as 200px. The reason you…

  • Height of the footer element

    @theacefes If memory serves me correct, Chris has already created a screencast in which he covers, albeit circuitously, the position property values. Perhaps it was this video: http://css-tricks.com/video-screencasts/42-all-about-floats-screencast/…

    @sorrentandrea: You are correct. HTML is for content, structure, and organization, while CSS is designed to drive the style of that content. The way your HTML is structured now, it is apparent that you're using it for both structure and styling…

    Your website, on the whole, looks great. The one thing I would suggest changing is using the text-transform property instead of capitalizing all of your text. I noticed this specifically on your home page, but I'd be hard-pressed to say it…

  • Rate my site redesign (WIP)

    I really like the design. While it does mirror closely the CSS-Tricks design, it does have its own, unique flavor. I also very much like the responsive design-y things, too. The one suggestion I have is to maybe float the search bar to the right of…

  • CSS Content in next line

    This may just be me, but forcing user to be on the second line affects readability. When readability is low so too is rate-of-completion. Just a thought.
