5248Here is a site that Mike found the other day. It basically allows you to compare screen type and create style sheets [kinda] on the fly. This is a whole let better than changing your current style sheet, saving it, reloading a web page and then changing it again just because you are not happy with the fonts.

For anyone who uses style sheets, which is all of you, this should be beneficial. Take a look at the site: Typetester – Compare fonts for the screen

CSS

I must have been on a quest, here is another post that I never finished. This one is a very straight forward explination of CSS based page layout. There isn’t much more to say other than go take a look if you are interested…

A List Apart is a great resource for many web related articles. Here is a perfect example of how to create a style sheet chooser with alternate style sheets, javascript, and cookies.

CSS, JavaScript

I have been following this project for a little while now and it seems pretty kewl. Anyway, Eric Meyer has come up with this great tool to show presentations that is completely xhtml compliant. Here is the excerpt from his site:

S5 is a slide show format based entirely on XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript. With one file, you can run a complete slide show and have a printer-friendly version as well. The markup used for the slides is very simple, highly semantic, and completely accessible. Anyone with even a smidgen of familiarity with HTML or XHTML can look at the markup and figure out how to adapt it to their particular needs. Anyone familiar with CSS can create their own slide show theme. It’s totally simple, and it’s totally standards-driven.

As a bonus, its markup is compatible with the Opera Show Format, and S5 is engineered to be displayed using Opera Show when a presentation is run using Opera.

CSS, X-HTML

Skidoo Too : Ruthsarian Layouts seems to have some ideas on CSS based layouts. I meant to write something up about this site a veeeerrrrry long time ago, but have forgotten what I wanted to say about it.

It does have a few things on there I would like to try to do. For example, if you go to the site and look in the left hand column, you get the ability to change the font sizes on the page. It looks pretty seamless, but I am sure that there is some javascript back there.

Consider this site "Posted"!
