I'm getting slightly jealous of the innovation I'm seeing from the Python and Ruby community around CSS.

Could these library's be easily "ported" to .NET via IronRuby...

I'm working on a project where the client wants to have existing pages dynamically loaded into a single page. That's no problem, but the styling is not working as it should when the pages are loaded as standalone files on the existing site. Is there a way to extract the css link from each page and have it dynamically applied to the viewe...
I made a page, 3 cols, tableless and css formated (as it should be). Sometimes the browser doesn't put anything in its place. So I made a fake preloader in a DIV id="preloader" and a content wrapper in another DIV id="container". First I made the whole wrapper nonexistant (not there, in opposite to visibility, that just "hides"). CSS ...

I'm in the midst writing a Lessig-Method slideware object in javascript (so something fun, not important), and I keep encountering strange text layout anomalies, the likes of which I can't say I've ever seen.

Hello, The link below was black with no underline, then black with an underline when hovered. This is what I wanted. Then I turned it into an Amazon Associate link, and now it's blue & underlined. I'm still using the same CSS as before (links2), so I don't understand why it changed format. How can I get the link to be black with no und...
One of the css aspects which confuses me sometimes when I look at a site is negative margins used for layout. It takes me a while to understand what the designer is trying to do with negative margins across the page. I mean a page which has several div's, several using negative margins and I am trying to get my head trying to figure them...

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 ...
