Thanks to everyone for the replies, I really appreciate it! :) @jon: Thanks for pointing me towards Bootstrap. That's an area of Bootstrap I have not explored (I've mostly studied Bootstrap in terms of the LESS setup). I'll take the time to look into the MQs used there and the docs/philosophy/thinking behind their setup.
@tom: Thank you for your feedback! I experiment with your suggestion of undoing the desktop styles. @david: Thanks for the code example, that's helpful. @philippe: Thanks for help! I appreciate the examples as well. :) My main reason for wanting to learn more about (primarily) using max-width is that I'd like to see if it helps me solve (or, come close to solving) these two problems: 1. Allowing desktop styles to print by default. 2. Allowing old IE to load desktop layout by default. In reference to #2 above, for my latest project we're using respond.js as a polyfill for older IEs (IE < 8) and it's a huge headache to manage due to our CSS assets being on multiple servers. The respond.js overhead is just to much of a burden. I'm wanting to explore a desktop first approach to see if that technique gets us any closer to having a manageable solutions for the items listed above. Thanks again folks! I owe ya'll an Oregon microbrew. :) Cheers, M ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
