IthoughtI'dsharesomeofmyhabitswhenitcomestodoingCSSworkandletmewarnyou,someofwhatIhavetosayisprobablyalittlecontroversial.Butwhat'slifewithoutlivingitontheedge.(Yeah,IliveanexcitinglifewhenCSSisconsidered'theedge'.)
pxforfontsizes-用px作为字体大小的单位

CSSdeclarationsononeline-CSS声明写在一行

h2{font-size:18px;border:1pxsolidblue;color:#000;background-color:#FFF;}
h2{
font-size:18px;
border:1pxsolidblue;
color:#000;

}

BrowserSupport-浏览器兼容

ContainingFloats-“包含”式浮动
Ijusttouchedonfloatcontainmentsolet'sexpandonthat.Mycurrentapproachtocontainingfloatsisusingoverflow:hidden(withpossiblyzoom:1forInternetExplorer).Noclearingdivoruseof:after.Onlyworryaboutcontainingyourfloatsifyouhaveabackgroundyouaretryingtosetonyourcontainer.Theoverflowshouldbesetonthecontainer.
Keepinmindthatthecontentwithinthecontainershouldbedesignedtostaywithinthecontainer.Anythingtoobigandit'llgetclipped.Shiftingthingsusingnegativemarginsoutsidethecontainerwillalsogetclipped.
UnderstandOverflow-理解与使用溢出
OverflowisusuallywherepeoplegetbitbyIE.Ifyou'vegottwofloatedelementsandthecontentfromtheleftcontaineroverflowsthen,inIE,thecontainergrowsandinevitablypushestherightcontainerbelowit.Thisisusuallyasignthatyou'vemessedupyourmargins,widths,orpaddingononeofthesecontainersbutFirefox(etal)won'trevealthis.Usingsomethinglikeoverflow:hiddenoroverflow:scrollonacontainercanhelppreventIEfromallowingthecontenttopushthewidthofthecontainerbutyou'rebetterofftryingtofixtheissueinthedesign.
AllowBlockElementstoFillTheirSpaceNaturally-允许块元素的空白
Myruleofthumbis,ifIsetawidth,Idon'tsetmarginorpadding.Likewise,ifI'msettingamarginorpadding,Idon'tsetawidth.Dealingwiththeboxmodelcanbesuchapain,especiallyifyou'redealingwithpercentages.Therefore,Isetthewidthonthecontainersandthensetmarginandpaddingontheelementswithinthem.Everythingusuallyturnsoutswimmingly.
