The easy way to use CSS2.1 to solve difficult cross-browser layout issues: CSS tables solve all the problems encountered when using absolute positioning or floats to create multi-column layouts in modern browsers. Specifying the value table for the display property of an element allows you to display the element and its descendants as though they're table elements. The main benefit of CSS table-based layouts is the ability to easily define the boundaries of a cell so that we can add backgrounds and so on to it-without the semantic problems of marking up non-tabular content as a HTML table in the document.

Masonry is a layout plugin for jQuery. Think of it as the flip side of CSS floats. Whereas floating arranges elements horizontally then vertically, Masonry arranges elements vertically then horizontally according to a grid. The result minimizes vertical gaps between elements of varying height, just like a mason fitting stones in a wall.

The pointer-events property allows authors to control whether or when an element may be the target of user pointing device (pointer, e.g. mouse) events. This property is used to specify under which circumstance (if any) a pointer event should go "through" an element and target whatever is "underneath" that element instead. This also applies to other "hit testing" behaviors such as dynamic pseudo-classes (:hover, :active, :focus), hyperlinks, and Document.elementFromPoint().

"If we set up a "ghost" element inside the parent that is 100% height, then we vertical-align: middle both that and the element to be centered, we get the same effect."

With rival Adobe updating its intermediate level Image editing and retouch app Photoshop Elements to version 10, can Corel sit idle? Its newly released PaintShop Pro X4 is intended to counter Photoshop Elements 10, which has got a thumbs-up from design industry veterans.

Since tables were co-opted for layout purposes, columns have become key to many Web design layouts, and this thinking continued when CSS took over from tables (at least in the minds of savvy designers) for Web-page presentation. However, other fields of layout design don't think in arbitrary columns, they work with grids, and these form the basis for the structure of page designs. This article will provide the lowdown on grid design for Web pages. Thinking modular Grids are a template, a framework within which creativity can flourish. Too many designers spend time looking at a blank canvas, trying to figure out where elements should be positioned, but, if you have a flexible underlying grid, many such problems are already solved for you. It becomes obvious where and how elements should and can be positioned, thereby leaving you, the designer, with more time to work on graphic design and other page components.

I n my previous posts, we discovered how to create speech bubbles and ribbons without additional HTML elements or images. They were achieved using CSS3 effects applied to the :before and :after pseudo-elements. In this post, we'll use a similar technique to create a paper curl effect.

A lot of Internet Explorer's rendering inconsistencies can be fixed by giving an element 'layout'. This leads to a question of why 'hasLayout' can change the rendering of, and the relationships between elements. In this article, the authors focus on some aspects of this complicated matter.

LESS is a friendly, easily-approachable CSS preprocessor. Though ultimately, Sass and Stylus are more powerful and robust, LESS has a certain charm that keeps it as a forerunner in the battle of the preprocessors. If you're a Sass fan, then you can take advantage of Compass, an incredible framework that makes coding with complex CSS3 properties a breeze. But what about LESS users? Where's their Compass? Today we'll look at three awesome mixin libraries that will help fill that void.
