Does anyone have any pointers how to to fix the styling issue presented when using jquery ui's datepicker along side blueprint css framework? Specifically the table with the dates appears larger (wider) than the container it sits in. ...
I have built several personal sites and now I and going to rebuild an existing one. I want to standardize on jQuery and Blueprint CSS. I used to use a Master page for everything but that does not seem to match real well with something like Blueprint. Not to mention the pain of the master page renaming of the controls ids and applying t...
I've been looking at different CSS frameworks. The two major players seem to be 960.gs and Blueprint. My question is simple: what are the pros and cons to each, and which do you recommend? And are there other frameworks that I should consider instead? Putting my question into context, I'm the designer on a site that's similar to StackO...
I need a quick solution to getting some decent layout working within the tabnav widget display area. I'm already using blueprint css for other aspects of the layout but I don't have enough CSS chops to figure out how to get blueprint containers to display within the tabnav's content area. The tabnav's content area is <div class="main_...
I'm following an article here: http://gom-jabbar.org/articles/2009/02/04/don-t-use-css-or-table-layout-use-sass-ad-compass more specifically the section entitled "Concrete Example of using Compass and Sass for creating a layout that people generally use tables for" The example references @import blueprint.sass Where is this file loc...
I don't see the point of using either http://960.gs or http://blueprintcss.org if they enforce margins other than for pretty magazine layouts/marketing-esq brochures. Is there a way I can use these to meet certain design requirements such as a navbar that can actually touch/wrap-around to the header? Any input to use these frameworks wit...
I'm using blueprint to do a complex form layout that involves jquery-ui tabs, but when I try to use the blueprint span-x divs within the jquery-ui tabs, the formatting gets all screwy.... <div id="tabs"> <ul> <li><a href="#blahblah"><span>blah blah</span></a></li> <li><a href="#blahblahblah"><span>blah blah blah</span></a></li...
I'm using the Blueprint CSS grid for my HTML page. I have a table which I want to show/hide - linking it to a button, using jQuery. The problem is that everytime I click on the button to show/hide the table, everything on the page shifts slightly left-right. Is this a common problem? Does anyone know what could be causing this and what ...
Anyone used the blueprint (http://www.blueprintcss.org/) with Office Sharepoint server publishing sites? If yes, what do you think? Any catches or problems ? does it really save time and make it easy to make the site working fine cross browsers? ...
One of the arguments I've heard about blueprint css is that it lets you think of your layout in terms of a grid rather than in terms of floats. This seems like a big advantage to me because I always get confused about where my floats are going to end up - sometimes a float will unexpectedly drop down below some other floats and I have a ...
What changes do you need to make to a Rails project to configure blueprintcss as the default stylesheet to be used when you generate scaffolding instead of scaffold.css? ...
If you use the container class for a layout with blueprint-css, you end up with a maximum width of 950px. I have a layout that needs to exceed this so I'm wondering why Blueprint uses this default? <div class="container"> ...
The definition I found for the blueprint css class called .column says: .column Use with .span-x classes to create combinations of columns in the layout. But the span-x classes seem to overlap this functionality since they allow columns to be defined without referring to .column? Could someone explain what distinguishes these two cla...
Using firebug, I found that blueprint css framework is applying this style to my <p> tags: p + p { margin-top:-1.5em; text-indent:2em; } I don't know what the + means. What's the difference between this and just definining a style for p without + p? ...
There's talk of this compressor script for blueprint css, where you can change the total number of pixels, or include fancy-type etc, but I've never figured out how to use it. All I can ever use is the vanilla version of Blueprint, and in this case, my site is only 900 px wide, so I can;t use Blueprint at all until I remake it for 900px ...
Yesterday I asked a question here that got more momentum that what I thought it would. Here is the question link since it is related. I am interested now in the possibility of that using two frameworks together will be worst than using a JS framework and CSS from scratch or the other way around. The question is clear, if you think ...
I'm creating a new layout for a site and I would prefer to use a grid-based css framework such as Blueprint (which is the only one I have experience with). But does anyone know of a way I could place my main content above my navigation and sidebar in the html in order to improve SEO? Thanks! ...

Hi all, I'm trying to use jquery and blueprint css to do a (so i thought) simple task, which is illustrated in the code below. Basically, I have a list of items, and I want to have a X at the end of each item so that the items can be deleted, i would also want the X appearing only if the user mouseover the list items. The mouseover part ...
