Normalized CSS, Option in Jsfiddle, How to Add It to Document

Normalized CSS, option in JSFiddle, how to add it to document

http://doc.jsfiddle.net/basic/introduction.html?highlight=normalized#choose-framework

Next is the Normalized CSS checkbox, selected by default. If selected, the fiddle will be rendered with normalize.css which is removing most of the browser styling of many HTML tags.

You'd want to include the following file in your template/pages.

http://jsfiddle.net/css/normalize.css

I'd recommend copying it and referencing a local copy rather than referencing it on their server though, that's bad form :)

What does the Normalized CSS button do in fiddle?

the checkbox adds an css reset. without this, there's some cellspacing wich causes the space between cells.

EDIT:

to get this on your own (without using the normalized css), just add:

table{
  border-spacing: 0;
}

Extra CSS supplied by JSFiddle

First, don't try to copy the source of JSFiddle, you can but it is rendered source relative to JSFiddle.

Second, you should look at the includes on the sidebar. So we see that we have JQuery 1.7.2 and normalize.css. Go and get those from the package maintainers, not from a third party, and include them in the head of your document.

Third, include the CSS in a style tag in the head of the document, then include the HTML in the body. The JavaScript should be included in a script tag at the end of the body so you don't need the document ready wrapper.

There was a couple modifications to the CSS to switch from float to inline-block, remove some margins and the bullets for the list. Et voilà!

How do you put jsfiddle on your html

A simple way to get a one page working version of a jsFiddle is to use their "Share full screen result" link, which for your example is jsfiddle.net/maxmitch/UgEu6/embedded/result/.

Then all you need to do is right click on the main frame and copy the source code. Note that if you're using jsFiddle's "normalize css" option that you'll have to adjust the path to the CSS files you see.

What exactly does normalization in CSS do?

Normalizing css tries to even out the differences between browsers when rendering html-elements. Many browser have "pre-settings": p and h-elements have vertical margins, lists have some margin and padding too. em and strong tags have bold font-weight.

All this pre-settings are reset, so that you have a consistent working-base in all the browsers.

JSFiddles normalize.css looks like this:

body,div,dl,dt,dd,ul,ol,li,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,pre,form,fieldset,input,textarea,p,blockquote,th,td { 
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
}
table {
    border-collapse:collapse;
    border-spacing:0;
}
fieldset,img { 
    border:0;
}
address,caption,cite,code,dfn,em,strong,th,var {
    font-style:normal;
    font-weight:normal;
}
ol,ul {
    list-style:none;
}
caption,th {
    text-align:left;
}
h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 {
    font-size:100%;
    font-weight:normal;
}
q:before,q:after {
    content:'';
}
abbr,acronym { border:0;}

The sense of normalizing css is debatable, since you have to redeclare every style manually in your stylesheet (even those presettings who make good sense, e.g. a simple font-weight on the em and strong tags which are treated equally by the browsers).

I used Eric Meyer's reset for some time, but stopped using it, since it reset far too many styles which needed redeclaration again. It wasn't worth it IMO.

For a REAL good style-normalizer take a look at the style.css from http://html5boilerplate.com/.

jsfiddle code working but when in demo page is not

See the same fiddle here modified to work with what you want: JS Fiddle Link

Its the exact same fiddle that you posted, just onDomReady set to "no wrap (head)" and JavaScript code wrapped in ready function. This makes it work with the HTML you have posted.

// jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
jQuery(function($) {
 ....
 // your code
});

So, as an answer, when you have jQuery loaded in head tag of your html document, you need to use .ready() API of jQuery and wrap all your code for any DOM manipulation in the ready function

List-element dots end up outside section element

shows it fine DEMO

keep unchecked the Normalized CSS checkbox on JSFiddle

JSFiddle external resources not working

There are issues with your fiddle

HTML panel is to place HTML Body tag only
You're using $(document).ready() along with "onLoad" setting

Please read http://doc.jsfiddle.net if in doubt.

SASS: normalize.css works, but does not show up in compiled CSS file?

Ok, this was really stupid from me. I've written @import "normalize/normalize";, but after that I of course need to include it like @include normalize where 'normalize' is the mixin's name. oh well!
