ABOUT zen-grids
---------------
The Zen Grids system is a fluid responsive grid system that is immune to
rounding errors and overflowing content. With an easy-to-use Sass mixin set, the
Zen Grids system can be applied to an infinite number of layouts.
USAGE
-----
Here's a simple example: a content column with a sidebar on each side, aligned
to a 12 column grid.
@import "zen";
$zen-column-count: 12; // Set the total number of columns in the grid.
$zen-gutter-width: 40px; // Set the gutter size. A half-gutter is used on
// each side of each column.
.container {
@include zen-grid-container;
}
.sidebar1 {
@include zen-grid(3, 1); // 3 col. wide sidebar starting in the 1st column
}
.content {
@include zen-grid(6, 4); // 6 col. wide element starting in the 4th column
}
.sidebar2 {
@include zen-grid(3, 10); // 3 col. wide sidebar starting in the 10th column
}
Within the .container element, the .sidebar1, .sidebar2 and .content elements
can be in any order.
Zen Grids has built-in support for the Box-sizing Polyfill which adds
"box-sizing: border-box" support to IE7 and earlier.
- Download the polyfill at https://github.com/Schepp/box-sizing-polyfill
- Place the boxsizing.htc file in your website.
- Set Zen Grids' $box-sizing-polyfill-path variable to the absolute path to the
boxsizing.htc file on your website. For example:
$box-sizing-polyfill-path: "/scripts/polyfills/boxsizing.htc";
