Hi, im very new to css, can someone explain to me the pro's and con's of these css grid systems, and which is better? http://960.gs/ http://960ls.atomidata.com/ Thanks, Tubs
Never heard of it , never used it and TBQH i can't really find a decent use for . To me it justs looks like a waste of code .
They are both the same, but the lower one is made to generate a css grid based on info you put in, if you want fluid widht or different width than 960px, you can edit columns, name elements etc. Bottom line is that it just triggers script errors when I try to use it. So I would go for the 960gs instead. I have used the 960 quite a lot, and I continue to do so, because it makes it easy to lay out the structure of the site, and once you get familiar with the system, you can make base positioning for a site in very little time, with very little work. It also includes a great reset file, and a basic text file that sets very basic text rules, but mostly it works very well. I usually just link in the 960, the reset and the text css file and then make a new file that I link and do all my additional css in. The only real drawback is that sometimes I feel that 960px is a little too narrow even when designing for 1024px resolution screen. You can always fit 1000px of content withing the 1024px without side scroll, so sometimes those missing 40px are really missed. Well, you don't need to use the 960 all the time, but it sure eases the div positioning and the layout css a lot.
