Coding a website or internet app can be a challenge. CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) comes to the rescue. One of the major enhancements in CSS technology is the Flexbox.
I've always rejected using a CSS Framework. As a website and web applications developer, our staff of designers and coders tried their best to steer the company towards using Bootstrap, a move I regularly rejected.
I'm more apt to use a framework these days. They do make development more rapid than without the framework.
However, I still find most CSS frameworks to be incomplete and close to junk. This category exists to offer some suggestions, code snippets and my opinions.

As an update: it's still bloatware and moreso than I originally thought. I accessed the "no-dark-theme" version. As in the previous article, it is much lighter and came in at 380Kb. But, and this is a big but, it does not match the functionality of version 0.9.4. All of the Helper functions are...
I've had gripes about Bulma pretty much since I started using it. For example, why would anyone use "columns" and "column" class names ... "columns" to refer to a horizontal row and "column" to refer to a vertical column. Just about every other css framework, at least those claiming to be...
Let's handle the most obvious question first: Why minify CSS or JS? There are two reasons. The first is to reduce the size of data being transferred across the internet. Removing comments and spacing can reduce these by as much as 40% of their original size. The second is to condense the space ......
I nearly gave up after trying several HTML "prettify" tools. All work, well, sort of. Tidy is a built-in PHP feature. The documentation is poor, very poor. They describe each option in a way that doesn't really explain what the option does. Tidy, like many software tools, tries to be all things....
I started using Bulma several years ago. I have looked at alternatives, some have come and gone. I must say, I understand why someone would want to start their own package ... the problem, of course, is keeping up to date on technology changes (in both CSS, HTML and scripting languages), and code...
Displaying website pages involves structuring them with HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language). You can use a web page editor that is quite like a word processor. The underlying code structure to display the page on the internet is HTML. Over the years the rendering of HTML pages by browsers has become...
'Twas the day when CSS was useful – but not necessary. The limitations in the early days meant that it was a toss up between inline tags, styles, and floats. One CSS framework stood out. Bootstrap was popular with its float based grid system. My take on it was that Bootstrap was bloated and added...
Most of the CSS resets and frameworks have a glitch in them. I understand my opinion goes against the grain on this. My opinion, though, is the correct way of looking at this (in my opinion, LOL). It's about the MVC. The goal of all content management systems is to separate content from...
I've tried out several responsive CSS frameworks over the years. Bootstrap is out of the question: while it is popular, it is bloated and ends up being restrictive. The most promising early in my search is called "Responsee". While it it responsive, there are some challenges with the column grid,...
