Hi,

I don't even know if this is possible but it seems like it should be...

I'd like to build a 'building block' of html which will then be reused in multiple places in my page.

So let's say i have the following which I'd like to class as 'atom':


Then have another class called a 'molecule'... Is it possible to define each molecule as containing exactly 3 atoms, without specifically hard-coding 3 atoms into every molecule div?

Then later what if I want to have:

<div class='goo'>
</div>

...which automatically displays 100 molecules.


So then after my CSS is set up, the HTML to display 300 atoms would simply be:


Is that possible? How to do it?

Thanks :D

Im assuming you can do some form of Targeting when wanting to refer to a set of rules that you created

Guh?

I can't do much. I just want to define an atom has having a certain look (css, html, images, whatever) and then be able to place that many times in the html without specifically copying and pasting all of the HTML associated with that small block.

Does CSS have a system of sub-classes and sub-sub-classes?

This is how I envisage things:

What you want to achieve has nothing to do with CSS. You can do it with Javascript.

Okay no problem. I wasn't sure.

I've already built the site now anyway with a bit of copy+paste :)

Will hopefully have the new site ready in a day or so.

With all the molecules and atoms you made me a bit curios. What is this website about?

It was just an example.

I have a dice game coming up. Each dice consists of a shadow plus a face, and each dice is in a set of 6, and there are 2 sets.

So I thought there may have been a more hierarchal way of arranging them in the page, but since I'm no CSS guru I've ended up just hard-coding pixel locations with the 'position:absolute' feature.

I'm much more at home doing the graphics in Photoshop than I am cutting it up to HTML afterwards, but the guy I usually hire to do that is busy on something else at the moment, so I'm slowly doing it myself :)

Although this is probably better suited to be coded in Php java you can do this with CSS but use images instead of colors.

OP what you want to do is not achieveable in HTML/CSS. You need javascript. I'd recommend you start out by learning jQuery. Start with beginner tutorials such as:

What you're trying to do with the dice... well consider either using images. If you want to draw in javascript then consider using the HTML5 canvas element. Just be careful because HTML5 is only supported in newer browsers.

I take bitcoin (in BTC or dobits (.001 BTCs)). I could make this work.

Micro templating is unnecessary.

You can use multiple classes in the class="" attribute.

Thanks, pretty much finished with the graphics and HTML now. It's mainly PHP work from here onwards.

a bit off topic, but if this is the way your brain naturally wants to go, look into using LESS
