I wish one can edit a previous comment. It almost seems like you are simply trying to re-emulate a table, without using tables. The whole things seems tablesk.
(class=”line”)
(class = “unit”)

just a thought anyway.

First off, great presentation. Clearly there is a way to standardize css a bit and make certain aspects and code blocks reusable. I’ve tried out and really looked at a lot of css frameworks, but truthfully, have seen things that I really like (so far, love jquery’s ui framework) and some things that I don’t.

I think the main thing that annoys me are the “position based” class naming rather then naming a class according to context or even function.

Example: Blueprint uses:
Append-10, prepend-20 (or something like that)

You uses “unit size1of2″ – grid blocks sized to measurements…. This still seems kinda sloppy and unreadable to me…

Don’t get me wrong, I see why you are doing it, and can see the logic, it just still seems non semantic…

Hi nicole,
I´m from Germany and I´m trying to get specialised in css. Your Philosophy help us, the newbies, to learn it better and use it better. I´ll try to learn oocss but I´m not sure, if many people will knew, what we did, when we learned this.
But that doesn´t matter. I hope that you will keep doing this and that you can post some tutorials or something like that.

I´m very Sorry for my bad english, I´m just 17-years-old.

Hope to read you again.

Hi Nicole,

I really like your OOCSS philosophy, and would love to implement it in our upcoming projects.Thanks for your great work and publishing the information to help developers get started.

Hope I can find some good Freelance coders who understand this well and can help us implement it in our next project.

I didn’t quite get the PNG-8 rounded corners trick. Could you provide an example of page where it’s used? Thanks…

@Dan – It isn’t easy, even for seasoned web devs. Getting the architecture right is always challenging.

I’d check out my example implementation on Github. It is an open source project based on OOCSS ideas:

There is also a Google Group:

I really like this, Is there any actual documentation? I suppose for the seasoned WebDev it’s all pretty easy but how about some decent explanations of how to put it all together, like skinning and using the mods etc? or am I missing something?
