hi...m nilesh.. i want ask that...if m using inline css while disigning the website, so is there any problem for website loading or validation or any other problem if i use inline css???
Inline CSS loads a little slower (as Google developer tools point out) and if you wanted to make site wide changes to your website you would have to update every single page.
Nope, technically it's not cached but if it's only a few tweaks on individual pages then there's no problem. If you find yourself having to repeat the tweak over and over then it's more practical to have it as a proper css class. Loading time is purely down to the size of the files. It shouldn't make an discernable difference.
It will not be noticed by your visitors if that is what you wanna know .. I use also inline CSS and I dont notice any changes with a separate stylesheet
If I look at the source of a website and see inline styles I just think the developer is either lazy or inexperienced. There isn't really any reason to use inline styles.
hello... m designing the website..bt ther r some problem which m facing.. when m using the css tags or htmls tags...n for ouput m checking in all browser whether the that css style applid or not... evry time i checked in differnt browser(ie, mozila,chrome) for example- i used background:rgba(0,0,0,0.5); this is ok in chrom n mozila bt when i checked in IE ,its not working.... same for the font source- i used prototype font..i put font in separate folder "fonts" and in css i write code like this---> @font-face{ src:url('fonts/Prototype.TTF') format('truetype'); font-family:'prototype'; } this font is working in chrome but not working in mozila n IE.. so is ther any solution on above two examples ? and how i avoid to check in every browser ?- how i chek tht tag should competible to all browser??? plz help mi
Google is of course your best friend. A little searching and you will find the right answers to your problems. RGBA is not supported in all browsers: http://css-tricks.com/rgba-browser-support/ your website should "gracefully degrade" as feature support is different for older browsers. You need different font formats for different browsers. Personally I use Font Squirrel http://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator have a read and look at that website.
Let me put is this way using inline CSS is stupid, lazy and a sign of incompetence. There is absolutely no justification for it. It makes maintenance more difficult. increases load time, increase parsing time to build the Document Object and has the potential to screw up natural cascades, because it has the highest level of specificity. Anyone who would advocate leaving CSS inline in a production page is an idiot. Cd&
surely using rgb or rgba is just lazy? If you have time to work out the rgb values you have time to get the hex for the colour and reduce the processing. Agree with @HuggyStudios over the font thing. Buggy implementation in IE, take suggested code where possible - nothing is as simple as it should be. There's a world of difference between advocating for something and acknowledging that it happens and one or two style definitions in code isn't the end of the world. A well constructed theme should have all the bases covered however there will always be times the end user wants something different. I have a client who has a professionally designed site and the page editor is set up to use the styles in the css but I've had to give them access to font and size because there's always someone who wants to do something horrific to their text. I'm there to build the site and keep it running, not to give a masterclass in design aesthetics to everyone who uses the site. And I'm not going to preempt every bad design decision by creating a class in the css.
You would use RGBA to achieve transparency with the last value being the transparent amount. Hex codes doesn't support that. My suggestion would be to either set RGB as the backup value for browsers that don't support RGBA: .class{ background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); /* is set if rgba isn't set */ background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); /* overwrites rgb if browser supports it */ } Code (markup):
When I see some getting defensive about not following "best practices", it just suggest that they know it is wrong but they prefer not to fix anything unless they have too because something failed.
In my opinion, inline CSS should only be used for HTML E-mail markup. Otherwise keep all your CSS separated from your HTML, organized and easily changeable. The larger your projects will be, the more benefit you will experience when you have to make changes
I generally frown upon the practice for several reasons. The first is it makes one of the big advantages of CSS -- having different appearance for different media targets -- harder to do. Remember, the STYLE attribute can't have attributes, so you can't say media="screen,projection,tv" or media="print" on it. Second, it's not cached, or pre-cached. Even if something is only used on one or two pages, if you load the CSS for all pages up front, those sub-pages don't have to download it later -- and really if you have enough CSS (anything more than 48k) for the ENTIRE SITE where pre-loading the sub-page CSS has a significant impact on the first-load, you've probably done something terrifyingly wrong. (like using idiotic haflwit bull like bootcrap, blueprint, YUI, etc) Next, I just find it easier to have my style in one file in one window, and my markup in another, that way I can work side-by-side. Finally, it's putting what things look like in the markup -- and that's something you shouldn't be doing in the first place. We've been using the term "semantic markup" for about a decade on this, but I'm starting to sour on that and am taking to calling it what it is, USING HTML PROPERLY. HTML is for saying what things ARE, NOT what they look like. If you are choosing your tags OR attribute OR classes OR Id's based on somethings appearance, you're just flat out doing it all wrong. That's why class="red" or using a fieldset just because you want a border around something -- or using tables just because you want columns is wrong. IMHO the STYLE tag should be removed from HTML entirely, it only encourages sloppy crappy coding practices. As an attribute it should be deprecated to show a warning, but still allowed for the handful of cases where style can be used to convey meaning -- like width or height on a bar chart. THIS markup: <div class="percentBar"><span><span style="width:50%"></span></span> 50%</div> Code (markup): which would have style like this in the external stylesheet: .percentBar span { display:inline-block; border:2px solid #00F; } .percentBar span span { border:0; background:#55F; } Code (markup): Is a valid usage scenario in my mind for the STYLE attribute. THIS: <div style="font-weight:bold; font-size:200%; color:#FED;">Some Text</div> Code (markup): Is NOT. You might as well go back to writing HTML 3.2 with idiocies like the FONT and CENTER tags at that point.
That has been suggested informally among some W3C editors, but there is resistance from tool developers, and plugin builders who are afraid of losing the ability to hack in jquery during initial load.
Which IMHO are scam artists jacktards and inept asshats who have no business developing for websites in the first place. **** jQuery and the morons dumb enough to think it offers anything of value. Of course, what style that's loaded BEFORE scripting has to do WITH scripting is beyond me, but that's just your average scripttard ineptitude of doing things with JS that is CSS' job, and wasting massive amounts of scripting on what more often than not is the job of a simple class swap.
Some email clients strip out <head> and <style> tags from emails, so it's best to have your CSS written inline within your markup. We know that writing inline CSS is time consuming and repetitive, so we've built this conversion tool to automatically inline your email's CSS. Just paste your email's HTML below, click Convert, and you'll get a more email-friendly version that's ready to send. If your email's CSS includes media queries for responsive styling, don't worry - the inliner tool will leave those rule sets alone.
