ABOUT zen-grids --------------- Zen Grids is an intuitive, flexible grid system that leverages the natural source order of your content to make it easier to create fluid responsive designs. With an easy-to-use Sass mixin set, the Zen Grids system can be applied to an infinite number of layouts, including responsive, adaptive, fluid and fixed-width layouts. More information can be found at http://zengrids.com USAGE ----- Here's a simple example: a content column with a sidebar on each side, aligned to a 12 column grid. @import "zen"; $zen-gutter-width: 40px; // Set the gutter size. A half-gutter is used on // each side of each column. .container { @include zen-grid-container(); // Define the container for your grid items. } $zen-column-count: 12; // Set the number of grid columns to use in this media // query. You'll likely want a different grid for // different screen sizes. @media all and (min-width: 50em) { .sidebar1 { @include zen-grid-item(3, 1); // Span 3 columns starting in 1st column. } .content { @include zen-grid-item(6, 4); // Span 6 columns starting in 4th column. } .sidebar2 { @include zen-grid-item(3, 10); // Span 3 columns starting in 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"; INSTALLATION ------------ Zen grids is distributed as a Ruby Gem.
