When doing development and you need to dimensions to a block element in CSS its pretty tedious to write: .block { width: 200px; height: 200px; } I use LessCSS as my css pre-processor so wrote a handy little mixin to shorten this: .size(@w, @h) { width: @w; height: @h; } Then to use it in […]

Non Native Form Controls
Been a while since I did a blog post, been probably the busiest I have ever been over the past 3 months, but I have been a bit disappointed that I have let my blog suffer as a result. Continuing in a slightly negative vein I’d like to post about something that as a developer […]
Doing more with {less}
