CSS Growing Pains….Sigh….
- 0 Comments
I’ve been having CSS nightmares since I decided to venture into teaching myself web design. I wake up in cold sweats babbling about relative and absolute positioning. Learning how to deal with transparent png files and repositioning gifs makes my head hurt. The mention of things like elastic layouts makes me want to run the other way. No not really, but I did just finally figure out how css positioning works. Up until now I have been kind of stumbling through, writing css, and hoping it did what I wanted–not the best way to write any kind of code I must admit. Last night things just kind of fell into place. My aha moment came when I was trying to position several divs inside another div that had an absolute position. I’m a C++ and Java application programmer, but CSS really wore me out. It requires a completely different skill set. And on top of that it accounts for my 2nd shortest blog post ever: 168 words!
