KISS indeed :)

I use a very simple framework, just a few classes I use in every document:

• Floating left and right, and a clear:both class
• Text-align left and right
• Widths of 20%,25%,40%,50%,60%,75%,80%
• Padding div, which I put inside divs width a width to stop the whole box model being different in different browsers

On top of that, I tend to have empty statements for body, a and p elements, and h1-h6 too.

Just so you all know ;)

Thanks mate :) That Coda feature you mentioned last sounds pretty fantastic, wish they'd just release it on Windows so i don't have to set up a dual-boot system on my new laptop :(

I'm a firm believer that, by focusing on your core markup, and debugging at the core before diving into a hacked solution is the best and easily possible way. It all comes down to whether or not you have the gumption to wade through the wrappers and the css to find the bug. I'm also a firm believer that no hacks are possible on many many layouts.

Well said. We have a few problems with that at work on our current project. The main bugs we were having were floating and using absolute and relative. The biggest issue we always come across is double side margins on floating elements in IE6. Now we can either do it as normal, and add a hack, or add an extra div with padding but no width, the width coming from the inner div.

When it comes to hacks in CSS, it's a choice: either add the hack, or add extra markup to get round it. Both methods have pros and cons, so it's the developer's choice.

I just installed Magento on a local server. WOAH!!!! Thats is an impressive piece of work it has to be said, we've been using digiSHOP since we have a reseller license, so we're gonna try and implement Magneto on the new shopping cart we can do. Unfortunately the examples are few and far between at the moment :( let's step on it guys!!

Just a thought thought with my 'tree hugging' hat on... shouldn't an expo called 'Internet World' issue it's visitor passes via email and allow the visitor to print them off if needed rather than paper post?

Does sound more marketing now ... im a bit put off by it now. We'll get out sales guy to go :)

Been thinking about it too, we've got the leaflets at work, I'll bring it up in the monday morning meeting, liven things up a bit.

Here's a good article to read from Smashing Magazine, The Secrets of Grunge Design. Helped me a lot on a client's site :)

CSSRemix and BestWebGallery. They may not update everyday like other galleries out there but the entries are always top drawer.

Diagrams always help :). Anyone that understands how the internet works will probably be considered geekish for a while to come now, but eventually it will all change, and we will become the new paragons of industrial growth. GEEKS NEVER RETREAT! GEEKS NEVER SURRENDER! *cough*

Ouch that is low. Wouldn't have seemed so bad had he not used the same background image.

Not only CSS3 but also HTML 5 ... can't wait,
