Have your CSS (and HTML)... Do one thing and one
thing only
http://snk.ms/1r The Single Responsibility Theory
<div class="grid"> <div class="col module">...</div> </div>
.grid {} .col { float:left; } .col:nth-child(2n) { clear:left; }
.module { display:inline-block; }
<div class="grid"> <div class="col"> <div class="module">...</div> </div> </div>
<ul class="grid"> <li class="module">...</li> </ul>
.grid {} .grid > li { float:left; } .grid >
li:nth-child(2n) { clear:left; } .module { display:inline-block; }
<ul class="grid"> <li> <div class="module">...</div> </li> </ul>
<ul class="grid"> <li> {{item}} </li> </ul>
<li class="module">...</li> <div class="module">...</div>
Categorization is about Isolation
2 Naming Convention

Naming Convention Naming convention clari es intent
Use Class over ID Don’t use a grenade to dig
a hole when a shovel will do.
Specificity Inline ID Class (pseudo-classes and attribute selectors) Element (pseudo-
elements) style="..." #article .article :hover [attr=val] a : rst-child
Specificity Inline ID Class (pseudo-classes and attribute selectors) Element (pseudo-
elements) style="..." #article .article :hover [attr=val] a : rst-child

.theme-header {} .theme-border {} .theme-background {}

.modulename .modulename-submodule .modulename-subcomponent No hyphens Always a root node No
hyphens No difference from submodule
.module-name .module-name--submodule .module-name__subcomponent allows for hyphens Always a root node
Alternatives underscores hyphens
.moduleName .moduleName-subModule .moduleName--subComponent camelCase Alternatives double hyphen single hyphen
Naming Convention • Pick a system that works for you
and your team • Be consistent • Consider: • Root node • Sub-modules • Sub-components
3 Decoupling CSS from HTML
.nav { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; } .nav
li { float: left; } .nav li a { display: block; padding: 5px 10px; background-color: blue; }
<ul class="nav"> <li><a href="/">Home</a></li> <li><a href="/products">Products</a></li> <li><a href="/contact">Contact Us</a></li> </ul>
<ul class="nav"> <li><a href="/">Home</a></li> <li><a href="/products">Products</a> <ul> <li><a href="/products/shoes">Shoes</a></li> <li><a
href="/products/jackets">Jackets</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="/contact">Contact Us</a></li> </ul>
.nav ul { margin: 0; padding:0; list-style:none; } .nav li
li { float: none; } .nav li li a { padding: 2px; background-color: red; }
.nav { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; } .nav
> li { float: left; } .nav > li > a { display: block; padding: 5px 10px; background-color: blue; }
.menu { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none } .menu
> li > a { display: block; padding: 2px; background-color: red; }
Please. Use child selectors
<div class="box"> <h2>Sites I Like</h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://smashingconf.com/">Smashing!</a></li> <li><a href="http://smacss.com/">SMACSS</a></li>
</ul> </div>
.box { border: 1px solid #333; } .box h2 {
margin: 0; padding: 5px 10px; border-bottom: 1px solid #333; background-color: #CCC; } .box ul { margin: 10px; }
<div class="box"> <h2>Sites I Like</h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://smashingconf.com/">Smashing!</a></li> <li><a href="http://smacss.com/">SMACSS</a></li>

.box { border: 1px solid #333; } .box h2 {
margin: 0; padding: 5px 10px; border-bottom: 1px solid #333; background-color: #CCC; } .box ul, .box p, .box div { margin: 10px; }
.box { border: 1px solid #333; } .box h2 {

href="http://smacss.com/">SMACSS</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="box"> <h2>About Us</h2> <p class="box-body">The Fancy Pants Company is all about fancy pants.</p> </div> <div class="box"> <h2>Sponsored By</h2> <div class="box-body"><img src="..." alt="..."></div> </div>
when the HTML can’t or won’t be predictable Apply a
class
What does it mean?
Shift your thinking
Don’t code CSS for the page. Code it for the
system.
State-based Design
State-based Design • A layout or module style • Sub-modules
• JavaScript-driven states • Pseudo-class states • Media query states
