Mainframe CSS framework is born
I just completed an early version of a CSS framework which I think can ease a lot of the pain in modern web design. It's name is Mainframe.
The key features are
- CSS reset: all things are reset to what should be the "defaults". This includes fonts, borders, margin, padding and others.
- Some Internet Explorer specific CSS bugs and annoyances are fixed
- Mainframe uses "spacers". Clear classes with a bottom margin. Very convenient
- Some classes you can use to display errors, warnings and information boxes in a stylish way. I call these "AJAX helpers" because that's what I use them for.
- 3 predefined containers for your content. 12 columns at 960px, 16 columns at 960px and a fluid one at 100% of the page width. PSD files for graphic designers are under development.
- The 960 grid system.
- It is free to use and modify under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License.
