on the topic of css patterns and re-usable chunks of code, there's plenty of whole css page layout resources that you can use as a starting point for your own stuff right, like the 'ol classics http://glish.com/css/ or http://www.bluerobot.com/web/layouts/
what about the insides of those layouts? with every subsequent design i do i gather more and more html & associated css "chunks" that i reuse over and over. if you were using dreamweaver you'd call them "snippets". things like: a login box a search box a search results pagination bar a set of search results a contact us form etc... you get the idea. just the really common stuff. obviously customisation of these would be/is required in almost all cases as soon as you paste them in.... but at least a starting point is handy are there resources/collections of these snippets out there? i cant find anything decent. ie: clean / semantic / sensible / 2006. if not, maybe there's a need for something...? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peter Ottery ~ Creative Director Daemon Pty Ltd 17 Roslyn Gardens Elizabeth Bay NSW 2011 http://www.daemon.com.au/ & COMING SOON webDU - the web technology conference http://webdu.com.au/ Sydney, March 2/3 2006 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
