[RFC] Add CSS framework to nitrogen

Reported by MS | December 29th, 2008 @ 05:50 AM

Blueprint [1] is one example of a CSS network. Closely integrating a CSS-framework has many benefits.

One integrated, nitrogen can model content elements like this then:

#column {span=12, content=[...]}
#box {span=12, color="...", }

2-columns (18,6), with first column containing 2 columns in turn:

#column {span=18, content=[
    #column {span=12, content=...},
    #column {span=6, content=...}
]},
#column {span=6, content=...}

    I feel like CSS is one of those things that shouldn't be tightly coupled to a framework.

    And specifically in this case, anyone who wished to use blueprint can do so by using the existing class abilities for elements.

    Put another way, tight coupling with jQuery is used for features of the framework. Tight coupling with a specific css framework, would as far as I can tell, only give purely presentational benefits.

    I don't think the benefits outweighs the drawbacks in this case.

    • Tag set to feature
    • State changed from “new” to “invalid”

    Hello David,

    I will prepare a small package which does what I described.
