Awesome resource. Quite jealous of those just starting out. I wish I would have had stuff like this when I first started.

Don't be jealous, on the contrary -- be thankful you got to learn without having the correct answer handed to you on a silver platter.

If there's anything to be thankful for in the current climate, it's the diversity of browsers and device form factors forcing designers to think about the layout outside of Photoshop.

Overall I like it, It can be very usefull for initial mark up where design isn't much inportant. Definitely took a place at my bookmarks.

Only one thing I noticed. I am not sure if it is a bug, but please check this page http://pea.rs/forms/multi-left-labels (and apparently same at http://pea.rs/forms/top-labels)

It has some problems with displaying textarea, at least for me it looks like that: http://i.imgur.com/tJKiG.png

I am using Windows 7 with Firefox 9.0.1

That's because the markup says <textarea id="bio"></textarea> instead of <textarea id="bio"></textarea>

It's going to look like that for everyone.

the question is, was it intended to look like that? I doubt it

Awesome stuff. Are these layout elements valid HTML & CSS (I'm too lazy to run it through a validator at the moment)?

This is a great resource of commonly used web elements, kudos to you.

I'm a web developer trying to be a designer as well and the one thing that always frustrates me with HTML 5 resources is that they focus on the definition of each new element and not proper use which preserves its semantic value within a document. This one pretty much nailed it with good examples. Thanks for sharing!

It's a good initiative but utterly wrong regarding best practices for css selectors.

ol.tags li a span.meta

Really? Why not something like:

.tags-vertical .meta

I like the overall style a lot tho.

It says it's a Word Press theme. Maybe WP expects those identifiers?

shinuza2• 14 years ago

Maybe for the top level, but anything between that and the classname is useless IMHO.

Looks good, but what should I be learning from this?

It's look like it's just a base for creating nice wordpress themes. It's not intended to learn much I think.

Anyway, it has really great style. Very good looking components and very useful to get started easily with a cool site, not necessarily a wordpress one.
