It seemed like a simple task to add banner module with flash ad under the menu, but in IE browser the content of the banner concealed part of the position from the dropdown menu. I have tried setting the z-index of the object, but still there was something wrong.

Baseline (baselinecss.com) is a CSS framework, built with typographic standards in mind, that aims to simplify developing a website with a pleasing grid, good forms and typography. Baseline starts with several files to reset the browser’s default behavior, build a basic typographic layout — including style for HTML forms and new HTML 5 elements — and build a simple grid system.

At this year's meeting, the CSS Working Group in Mountain View, Adobe presented a new concept in web site layouts that will allow us to go beyond the typical multi-column layouts, towards solutions known from the "paper" DTP. The CSS Regions module (suggested name) will allow content to flow across multiple areas called regions. 

Creating the CSS styles in the theory looks very simple, but the problem appears when the page is enormous, and the code templates must grow with the evolution of the user interface.

We could say that everyone who works in web pages production knows for sure the Firebug add-on for Firefox browser. It is in my opinion, and i'm sure for many of you, the best and most useful add-on that exists for this type of work.

According to last templates update which are based on T3 framework, except some changes connected with adding fonts, extending the list of Google Fonts, we have prepared a new functionality, namely support for Font Squirrel. I would like to describe it in short how it works and which allows enrich typography of our site very easily.

The possibility of embedding fonts in CSS is still a distant perspective because of lack of support in browsers used by majority of Internet users. However, sometimes there is a need to use font in layout which is completely different in its look than other font group which is available for Internet users. A solution to this problem can be Cufon script.

Templates for Joomla! have a specific feature – they are quite extended, especially when it comes to CSS code; while creating a template it is essential to style standard subpages, additional modules, components. The more we want to care about the details, the more the amount of code rises where some parts multiply. Therefore, I have been using CSS pre-compilers for some time to create templates. One of such tools is LESS. I will show you how to use LESS in a template which is based on the latest version of T3 Framework used in our templates and I will show how to use its possibilities.

Today's entry will be connected with extensions styling for Joomla! It offers us access to head section of a document, thanks to which it is possible to add script or CSS style from a module/component level. Some developers eagerly use this option in order to e.g. avoid embedding link elements inside body section of a storefront (which, by the way, causes validation errors). I will describe access and operations on head sections template for Joomla! next time as it is quite important and wide topic. But for this moment a little trick which can be useful while creating, e.g. a template for mobile devices.
