Css Triks
Earlier before I have written an article about current best CSS hacks which you can see here And now here’s the list of today’s most used CSS tricks – tips. I have added image examples for most of them because of critics on CSS hacks article. If you think I have missed any please let me know
1. Rounded corners without images

.r1{margin: 0 5px}
.r2{margin: 0 3px}
.r3{margin: 0 2px}
.r4{margin: 0 1px; height: 2px}

}

ol p {

}


3. Tableless forms

Name


Address


City

label,input {
display: block;
width: 150px;
float: left;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}

label {
text-align: right;
width: 75px;
padding-right: 20px;

width="15" height="15" class="corner"
style="display: none" />

CONTENT

width="15" height="15" class="corner"
style="display: none" />

.roundcont {
width: 250px;
background-color: #f90;
color: #fff;
}

.roundcont p {
margin: 0 10px;
}

.roundtop {
background: url(tr.gif) no-repeat top right;
}

.roundbottom {
background: url(br.gif) no-repeat top right;
}

img.corner {
width: 15px;
height: 15px;
border: none;
display: block !important;
}


8. Multiple class name



.class1 { border:2px solid #666; }
.class2 {
padding:2px;
background:#ff0;
}

9. Center horizontally

#container {
margin:0px auto;
}


10. CSS Drop Caps

This paragraph has the class "introduction". If your browser supports the pseudo-class "first-letter", the first letter will be a drop-cap.

p.introduction:first-letter {
font-size : 300%;
font-weight : bold;
float : left;
width : 1em;
}


11. Prevent line breaks in links, oversized content to brake

a{
white-space:nowrap;
}

#main{
overflow:hidden;
}

12. Show firefox scrollbar, remove textarea scrollbar in IE

html{
overflow:-moz-scrollbars-vertical;
}

textarea{
overflow:auto;
}


If you are front end coder you must know how important is to make cross browses, valid CSS and xHTML code. And also you must know how much time we are spending in all those hacks and fixes for various browsers.

1. Vertical align div
