Usefull CSS Tools
February 15th, 2010
For months, I have been bookmarking interesting, useful and creative CSS tools and related resources. Here is a list of 10 of the better ones I have found.
ONLINE CSS TOOLS
#1 CSS Type Set
CSS Type Set is a hands-on typography tool that allows designers and developers to interactively test and learn how to style their Web content.
#2 Conditional-CSS
Conditional-CSS allows you to write maintainable CSS with conditional logic to target specific CSS statements for both individual browsers and groups of browsers.
#3 px to em
This tool is what its developers call “px to em conversion made simple”. Type a base font size in pixels, and the tool will produce a complete pixel to em conversion table, making elastic Web design much easier to produce.
#4 Kotatsu
Kotatsu is a simple HTML table generator. The tool lets you attach classes to cells in the same column easily.
#5 CSS Text Wrapper
The CSS Text Wrapper allows you to easily make HTML text wrap in shapes other than just a rectangle. You can make text wrap around curves, zig-zags, or whatever you want.
#6 Grid Designer 2.4
This tool enables you to create a grid by specifying the number of columns and the widths of the columns, gutters and margins. You can also specify typography in the same tool and export the final CSS and (X)HTML markup. You can also bookmark your grid and typography settings and create designs with spanning columns.
