Responsive CSS Grid

A 24 column percentage based responsive CSS grid scaling from the base 1008px, to:

  • (xl) > 1200px
  • (m) 768px - 1023px
  • (s) 480px - 767px
  • (xs) < 479px

Benefits

  • Quicker development - use the grid as scaffolding to quickly layout the website design, then style - you won't know yourself!
  • Be precise - with more columns at your fingertips, you're able to be pixel perfect quicker
  • Flexibility - hide something on mobile-portrait sized screens (.hidden_xs), only show on tablet sized screens (.visible_m) + more - very easy!
  • Compatible back to IE8 (wow it doesn't break on Internet Explorer!)

Features

  • .grid_x - the grid columns (1 to 24)
  • .grid_x_y - append _y (i.e. xs, s, m, l or xl) to a grid_x (eg. <div class="grid_24 grid_12_m"></div> is 24 columns everywhere except on m size, where it's 12 columns)
  • .prefix_x - add white space before an element the width of column x
  • .hidden_y - hide element on y (i.e. xs, s, m, l or xl) size screen
  • .visible_y - only show element on y (i.e. xs, s, m, l or xl) size screen
  • Utility classes - makes life easier with predefined classes such as .clear, .text_align_left (or center or right), .scale_with_grid (add to images to automatically scale as the grid scales)
  • HTML resets - all included!

Source Ordering

  • Switch the position/order of divs in a row based on the media query. i.e. image right text left on desktop, image top text bottom on mobile.
  • .push_x - push div x columns to the right
  • .push_x_y - append _y (i.e. xs, s, m, l or xl) to a push_x (eg. <div class="grid_12 push_12_m"></div> is 12 columns wide and is pushed 12 columns to the right on size grid_m)
  • .pull_x - pull div x columns to the left
  • .pull_x_y - append _y (i.e. xs, s, m, l or xl) to a pull_x (eg. <div class="grid_12 pull_12_m"></div> is 12 columns wide and is pulled 12 columns to the left on size grid_m)

.row class

  • Inside your container_24 div add in a .row div to wrap all of your 'grid_x divs. This will auto clear all the floats within the row
  • Add the class .outer to your .row div and it will add -10px margin to each side of the row. This is used to offset the outermost .inner margin added to .grid_12 inner divs. i.e. <div class="row outer"><div class="grid_12 inner"></div><div class="grid_12 inner"></div></div>

Gutter Widths

  • Add .medium_gutters or .large_gutters to your enclosing .row element to change the gutter widths to 15px or 20px respectively.

.5ths grid class

  • Need to create a column layout that is 5 columns wide? Then use .grid_5th or .grid_5th_y (where y is a grid size i.e. xs, s, m, l or xl) and it will line up nicely.

Installation

1. Download & Link up the stylesheet

  • Download the grid.css file and place within your scss directory

  • Add grid.css to your SASS/SCSS structure as a SASS Partial (or minify it and include it in your HTML <head> as below)

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/grid.min.css"> (Matching your file structure of course!)

2. Meta tag

Add this meta tag within your HTML <head>:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1" />

3. Moderizr

Install Modernizr within your HTML <head> for backward compatibility (specifically IE7):

<script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/modernizr/modernizr-2.6.2.js"></script>:

4. Start using!

Simply nest your .grid_x within a .container_24 div and you're away
