  2. COLUMNAL GRID SYSTEM
  3. ====================
  4. Columnal is a project created by Pulp+Pixels - www.pulpandpixels.com
  5. The Columnal CSS grid system is a "remix" of a couple others with some custom code thrown in. The elastic grid system is borrowed from cssgrid.net, while some code inspiration (and the idea for subcolumns) are taken from 960.gs. The CSS reset is the famous reset created by the CSS rockstar, Eric Meyer.
  6. Please visit columnal.com for more information on the grid system.
  7. ===============================================

  41. CSS Files for Internet Explorer
  42. ====================
  43. ie.css
  44. CSS "fixes" for Internet Explorer (across versions), the fixed width for Internet Explorer 8 can be set at the bottom of this page, it is NOT SET by default. This means IE8 will follow the width of the browser down to a ridiculously thin dimension.
  45. fixed-984px-ie.css or fixed-960px-ie.css
  46. CSS "fixes" for Internet Explorer 6 and 7. This sets the page width to a fixed width of either 984px or 960px, adding better support for the older browsers.
  47. ie6-984px.css or ie6-960px.css
  48. CSS "fixes" unique to Internet Explorer 6. Fixes for IE6, only needed if IE 6 will be supported - use .imagescale to fix IE6 issues with full-column width images (class must be added to any image wider than the column it is placed into)
