I find something fantastic snippets for web designers, actually i am new to html5, the snippets below may be parts of your base template.
1. Basic html5 template
|
|
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
<title></title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html> |
Internet Explorer has many rendering engines ready for use. What this line of code basically does is force IE to use the most up to date rendering engine that it has available, so that your pages will render as well as possible. It then goes on to talk about Chrome Frame. Chrome Frame is a plugin for IE6, 7, and 8 which brings all the rendering, and js power of Google Chrome to IE. If the user has it installed, we render our site using it.
2. Conditional body tag
|
|
<!--[if lt IE 7 ]> <body class="ie6"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7 ]> <body class="ie7"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8 ]> <body class="ie8"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 9 ]> <body class="ie9"> <![endif<]-->
<!--[if (gt IE 9)|!(IE)]><!--> <!--<![endif]--> |
3. jQuery loading fallback
A vast majority of sites these days make use of the jQuery JavaScript library. A vast majority also make use of Google’s hosted version of the library for faster loading speed’s, and better cross site caching. However, what if there is ever a problem and jQuery is not loaded from Google? Well here is your backup. What it basically does is check if jQuery is loaded from Google. If not, then we load it locally from our own version of jQuery.
|
|
<!-- Grab Google CDN's jQuery. fall back to local if necessary -->
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>!window.jQuery && document.write('<script src="js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"><\/script>')</script> |
4. Html5 ready reset
Plenty of you will have used Eric Meyer’s css reset before now. It is included in many frameworks and so on, like 960.gs. This is a revamped version of that reset, that brings it into the present with full support for html5. It sets all the new structural tags as block level, and resets all their default styling as expected.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48

/* END RESET CSS */ |
5. Force scrollbar
Sometimes, pages can be shorter than the browser view-port, and when you load a page on the same site that has longer content and uses a scrollbar, content can jump side to side. By forcing a scrollbar no matter the height of our content, we stop this small, but annoying issue.
|
|
html { overflow-y: scroll; } |
6. Aligning Labels
Alignment of labels with their relevant inputs can be a horrible task to achieve in older browsers. This snippets solves that for us by making it consistent across browsers!
|
|
/* align checkboxes, radios, text inputs with their label */
input[type="radio"] { vertical-align: text-bottom; }
input[type="checkbox"] { vertical-align: bottom; *vertical-align: baseline; }
.ie6 input { vertical-align: text-bottom; } |
7.Print styles
Any decent site should be print ready, as even though we live in a technology driven time, people still like to have a hard copy of some information. This snippet firstly uses a css media declaration, allowing you to include this in your main stylesheet, and not having to place another link in the head of your document. This benefits load time, as even when the page inst being printed, a browser will always download that extra css file, generating an extra http request. The snippet then goes on to include some useful print styles such as printing our link urls, and so on.
|
|
/*
* print styles
* inlined to avoid required HTTP connection www.phpied.com/delay-loading-your-print-css/
*/
@media print {
* { background: transparent !important; color: #444 !important; text-shadow: none; }
a, a:visited { color: #444 !important; text-decoration: underline; }
a:after { content: " (" attr(href) ")"; }
abbr:after { content: " (" attr(title) ")"; } .ir a:after { content: ""; } /* Don't show links for images */ pre, blockquote { border: 1px solid #999; page-break-inside: avoid; } img { page-break-inside: avoid; }
@page { margin: 0.5cm; }
p, h2, h3 { orphans: 3; widows: 3; }
h2, h3{ page-break-after: avoid; }
} |
8. X-UA-Compatible Server sided
This is the same as the html version mentioned above, forcing the latest rendering engine in IE, and Chrome Frame if it exists. The benefit of including this in your .htaccess file is that it saves you having to declare this in the head of each and every html document you produce.
|
|
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
BrowserMatch MSIE ie
Header set X-UA-Compatible "IE=Edge,chrome=1" env=ie
<IfModule> |
9. Gzip compression
Gzip compression allows us to drastically reduce out file sizes. This .htaccess snippet does the gzipping for us.
|
|
# gzip compression.
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
# html, xml, css, and js:
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/x-javascript text/javascript application/javascript application/json
# webfonts and svg:
<FilesMatch "\.(ttf|otf|eot|svg)$" >
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule> |
