Using Tripoli - A CSS Framework

Using Tripoli - A CSS Framework

Okay, so its not exactly a framework in the traditional sense of coding but it is and can be used as a solid CSS reset.

Tripoli is a generic CSS standard for HTML rendering. By resetting and rebuilding browser standards, Tripoli forms a stable, cross-browser rendering foundation for your web projects.


I first heard about Tripoli from a Smashing Magazine article on CSS frameworks and resets and I started to use it lately in a couple sites. Overall it does a really good job of wiping the board clean of all a browser’s basic standards on how it will render an (X)HTML page, then rebuilds those same elements so they will look the same across all browsers, no matter what styling is applied. This is a great help to prevent all those pesky “I hate Internet Explorer!” moments.

Since released in August 2007, Tripoli has underwent some changes and is about to be released in Beta version. To use and find out more about Tripoli and the upcoming Tripoli Beta release, check out the Tripoli website.
