Useful tools for hacking CSS
I was whacking CSS stuff for the Flo Tuition website. Below are some useful tools I found that has aided me in the process.
- ShadedBorder – JavaScript Round Corners with Drop Shadow: This script helps to give my CSS boxes round corners, including the borders. This reduces the effort of generating a lot of corner images if you have a lot of different boxes to apply to.
- CSS Color Chart: I used this as a reference for colors. They have a nice chart with the actual colors and hexadecimal codes.
- 3 Column Layouts: This page tells me how to have a column fluid layout with minimal fuss and the pictures made it easy to understand.
