Tips and trick and techniques seem frequently to come out of the blue as the result of reading articles, books and forums (fora?) like this one. So in that light I was wondering what was the most useful CSS tip, trick or technique you've learnt this year - top 3 maybe - not "of all time" just this year. I'll start. My top 3 CSS things from this year are: 1. Using display:inline in divs to counter the IE double float bug 2. Adding height 100%, margin-bottom 1px to the html element to get rid of FF page shift. 3. Finally found a "good" IR method: wellstyled.com Passed on to me by a member of this forum! _____________________________ "My strategy is so simple an idiot could have devised it" Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Blood, Sweat & Rust - A Land Rover restoration project

I have trouble remembering last week let alone all year! Ummmmmm thinks 1. always start your css off by zeroing everything so you know you're starting from a clean baseline html body {margin:0; border:0; padding:0;} 2. Visit Stu Nichol's site on a regular basis. That guy rocks! 3. Use lists for menus _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype?

The importance of commenting your css (and in particular any css hacks - helps enormously a few months down the line when you can't remember why you did what) 3. Keeping Position Is Everything at the top of my list of bookmarks _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ (in reply to jaybee)
