An all CSS button
Posted: 12 months ago in Tutorials
A few years ago I gave a talk about why a button made a great place to bring in type from a branding element such as a logo. My point was that if the type in your logo was an image, and stylish buttons were also often images, then why not align the fonts in both to bring some cohesiveness to the typography.

Create a vertically centred horizontal navigation
Posted: 1 year ago in Tutorials
Centring block level elements is easy, just define a width and set margin:0 auto;, but what if you don’t know that fixed width? You could use text-align:center;, but that won’t work on 100%-width block-level elements either… that’ll only work on text-level elements.
