Online CSS Optimiser / Optimizer

Online CSS Optimizer/Optimiser is a web tool for reducing the file size of cascading style sheets. In order to save more space optimized files would be messy even so you may output it as a file. Non-valid or hacked (for certain browsers) CSS files may result in error.

This one had me baffled.

Trying to validate a CSS file I’m working on and constantly ran across the WARNING :

“Line : … (Level : 1) You have no color with your background-color : ….”

but, but, but… I DID have a background-color defined so what’s up?

And even though I read through a ton of Google found search results and other people battling the same issue, it did not get clearer, and had me baffled for several hours until finally the coin dropped - it’s the wording of the error which had led me astray.

I understood the error to mean “you don’t have one but you need to assign a background-color to this tag” - but NO - it’s just the opposite, it’s flagging the fact that you DO have a background-color defined but NO (front) COLOR.

The CSS is missing something like : {color: #000000;}.

So, did the coin drop now also for you?

CSS Zen Garden: Vertical Garden

This is a nice change : having the - usually left or right - column run through the middle. Recently I noticed a tiredness and boredom when looking at all the standard design, navigation left / right and big text block - in all variations but basically still all based on the same weighting of navigation+content. Not that I think this solution is the user friendliest (main titles in the middle being as bulky and non-legible makes reading the content not easier, plus in this circumstance I’d say the left and right columns are too narrow as the center title is this dominant… but anyway, it’s the basic principle which I definitely think interesting and worth while exploring.
