Interesting stuff. I think if people just learned to use multiple classes (ie class="box large blue-bg"), they could drastically reduce the size of their css and reuse more styles.
- collint 18y agoDidn't we just spend a decade or so trying to get everybody to keep their styles OUT of their markup? I'm all for reusable css components. Personally I'm using http://github.com/chriseppstein/compass/ http://github.com/chriseppstein/compass/
- russell 18y agoTP is talking about the use of classes as mixins. One class could style the container and another could style the contents. I use multiple classes to add effects like hove via JavaScript. Hover can be a single CSS description rather than dozens of alternatives such as box and boxhover.
- collint 18y agoI'm talking about NOT using presentation-specific such as "box" or "blue". Having class names such as "two-columns blue hoverable" are slightly more convenient but strategically similar to in-line styles. Keep that presentation/behavior shit out of my content please. Modularity is not a difficult problem to solve. But overloading your HTML is damned near impossible to dig yourself out of.
