Wandering the wonderful world of CSS and web development
Well, I’ve spent the past three days or so redoing a website design using YUI CSS and jQuery. It’s been quite an adventure. A few things that I’ve learned:
IE 6 is pure hate. IE7.js and IE7.js are life savers, they add the required features to make full (or almost full) CSS usable with IE 6.
It’s easier to start with a blank slate and grab things from the current web page then shoe-horn the current page into YUI CSS.
Javascript based corner rounding is awesome if you’re lazy.
Upgrading a website in stages is the only sane way to do it.
