css framework/library recommendations? - El Forum - 11-17-2008
[eluser]edwardmolasses[/eluser]
hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a css framework or library that they start projects with? I'd like something that does some decent css reset a few other useful things like columns and such, but that doesn't have too many bells and whistles and is easily manageable. I guess i'm looking for the code igniter of css frameworks!
I looked at blueprint and it seems really big and complex to me. I'd prefer something in one file. Though i could be wrong about blueprint, maybe i just haven't read enough yet. I found one called malo, which seems pretty small and useful, but it also looks pretty new so i don't know how popular it is.
Does anyone have a css framework that they really love?
thanks!

I've had good success with the YUI triplet (reset-grid-fonts), and my current favorite is the 960 grid. If you're just looking for a baseline reset, Tripoli might be a good way to go.

I prefer 960 too for grid layout solution.
For Tripoli, it is still in beta, but it is worth to have a try.

I've had a lot of success with YAML:
http://www.yaml.de/en/home.html
Good documentation as well.

But this yaml is not free.

YUI's pretty good.
I use it on my site (http://www.Redmol.com/community)

@taewoo: you should run your site through YSlow, it took 21secs for the page to load on my 8Mbps connection and scored an F(44) with YSlow.

That is why I don't use YUI. Very slow..

You can try bluetrip, its a combination of tripoli and blueprint..
