Best Time Saving CSS Coding Tools You Should Know
0CSS is the essential component of modern web design. But writing the CSS code from scratch for each web design project is a tiring and time-consuming job. Here are 15 CSS tools ranging from layout generators, form generators to code compressors that will save you a lot of time writing the CSS code for your next web design.
1. CSS Typeset
CSS Typeset is a handy tool that allows to test different font-styles on a piece of text and provides with the CSS code for chosen font-style that you can copy paste into your stylesheet quickly.

Methods to Create Equal Height Columns
0Back when tables were used for layouts, creating equal height columns was very simple. All you had to do was create three cells in a row and you have a layout with equal height columns. The method for creating equal height columns isn’t as straightforward when you use CSS for layouts.
This article discusses some methods to create equal height columns that work on all major web browsers (including the infamous IE6). All of these methods show how to create a three column layout.
Create a layout in which all the three columns assume the height of the tallest column.
Method 1: Using display: table Attribute

Usability Issues on Date Formating – Choosing the Right Date Format
0While managing my rss subscriptions, I noticed that some websites use confusing date formatting. For example: What date is 12/05/09?
- May 12th, 2009
- December 5th, 2009
- May 9th, 2012
Using Date Formats: MM/DD/YY (common in US), DD/MM/YY (common in Europe) and YY/MM/DD (used in Japan) are really confusing.
Dates used in web sites should be understandable for all cultures. The best practice for date formatting is using month names with 4 digit year. So the right formats for our example are – 12 May 2009 or May 12th, 2009.
Second issue about date formatting is displaying day and month information without a year. It is hard for users to understand if the reading is relevant for them. Showing full date enables More >
