Advanced CSS : Layout

BY SYEDA ROSHNI AHMED


CSS Framework

•A CSS framework is a precreated set of


CSS classes or other software tools that
make it easier to use and work with CSS.
•They are two main types of CSS framework:
•Grid systems
•CSS preprocessors
Grid systems

• Grid systems make it easier to create multicolumn


layouts.
• There are many CSS grid systems; some of the most
popular are Bootstrap twitter.github.com
• /bootstrap),Blueprint (www.blueprintcss.org),
and 960 (960.gs).
• The most important of these capabilities is a grid
system.
Grid systems

• CSS frameworks provide similar grid features.


The
960 framework uses either a 12- or 16-column grid.
• Bootstrap uses a 12-column grid.
• Blueprint uses a 24-column grid.
• The grid is constructed using <div> elements with
classes defined by the framework.
• The HTML elements for the rest of your site are then
placed within these <div> elements.
Bootstrap classes
CSS preprocessor

• CSS preprocessors are tools that allow the


developer to write CSS that takes advantage of
programming ideas such as variables, inheritance,
calculations, and functions.
• A CSS preprocessor is a tool that takes code
written
in some type of preprocessed language and then
converts that code into normal CSS
• The advantage of a CSS preprocessor is that it can
provide additional functionalities that are not
available in CSS.
CSS preprocessor

•In a programming language, a developer can


use variables, nesting, functions, or
inheritance to handle duplication and avoid
•copy-and-pasting and search-and-replacing.
•CSS preprocessors such as LESS, SASS, and
Stylus provide this type of functionality.
