So, I've been 'collecting' CSS menus for a while now (another term would be 'borrowing', yet another would be 'blatantly ripping off'), to learn from them and to potentially reuse some of the leetness in my own projects. Being an oldschool HTML purist, I love the idea of styled <ul>s and <ol>s, and the better menus and tab interfaces te...

I've been reading about the @font-face rule and trying to work out if it's worth using it in a project to render "franklin gothic medium" for title instead of something like sIfr. I figured that for browsers that don't support it I could make it fall back on Arial. The thing is that I'm having trouble getting a definitive answer about w...

Why won't "vertical-align: middle" work? And yet, "vertical-align: top" does work. <div> <img style="width:30px;height:30px"> <span style="vertical-align:middle">Doesn't work.</span> </div> CSS is so annoying. ...

I'm pretty accustomed to clearing my floats by using <br style="clear:both"/> but stuff keeps on changing and I am not sure if this is the best practice. There is a CSS hack (from positioneverything) available that lets you achieve the same result without the clearing div. But... they claim the hack is a little out of date and instead ...
I have an input[type="radio"] element inside a block container of fixed width. The supporting text for the input element does not fit in a single line, and falls over to two or more lines. For example: <div class="leftBlock"> <input type="radio" name="foo" value="bar" id="option" /> This is a rather long supporting text that doe...
I have about 7 Javascript files now (thanks to various jQuery plugins) and 4-5 CSS files. I'm curious as to what's the best practice for dealing with these including where in the document they should be loaded?

Ok, I've rolled my own theme, I've made a custom jQuery UI pack (progress bar, date picker, slider) and installed it all. Seems to (mostly) work except for two things: When my page first loads the datepicker div is visible; and The text "Next" and "Prev" are visible in large font underneath my icons. None of the examples seem to have...
