Better CSS Part 4: Naming Conventions

When you are giving names to your ids and classes use names that are appropriate and clear. If you had a class just called “wrapper” and someone else was looking at your CSS they would have no idea what it is used for or where it’s in use. Give it a more descriptive name like “wrapper_header” or “wrapper_image”. I also prefer to use an underscore to seperate words in my class and id names, but it’s also acceptable to use camel case like “wrapperHeader” or “wrapperImage”. In my opinion I feel that using an underscore is more readable at a glance, but using camel case does get rid of a character if you’re really worried about file sizes.

This is a touchy subject. Whether you should use the id attribute or the class attribute in your HTML to style things with CSS. One thing is certain, XHTML standards say that ids must be unique.

This is an extension for JQTouch (a framework built on top of JQuery) that allows you to build mobile optimized websites. This extension arose out of the need to have a dynamic min-height setting rather than relying on the static min-height settings in the jqtouch.css file. This allows for greater cross-browser compatability when aligning items to the bottom of a page or on background elements.
