Tag: CSS

As a web developer, one of the things I struggle with is keeping my CSS files from becoming a complete disaster. I’m sure that some of you reading this share my pain. A couple days ago, I ran across a post by Emil Stenström about what he calls the Tree Method.

Overall, it seems to make a lot of sense. The only thing I might object to is organizing properties alphabetically. Grouping related properties makes more sense to me, even though it often means I’m not totally consistent with how I order them.

So, I ask those of you who are good with CSS (I know that at least one of you are): Would you recommend this method? What would you tweak to make it better? Do you have another method that you feel is better?

I’m just testing Lightbox JS. It’s pretty cool.
