ABOUT zen-grids

Zen Grids is an intuitive, flexible grid system that leverages the natural
source order of your content to make it easier to create fluid responsive
designs. With an easy-to-use Sass mixin set, the Zen Grids system can be applied
to an infinite number of layouts, including responsive, adaptive, fluid and
fixed-width layouts.

USAGE

Here's a simple example: a content column with a sidebar on each side, aligned
to a 12 column grid.

@import "zen";

$zen-gutter-width: 40px; // Set the gutter size. A half-gutter is used on
// each side of each column.

.container {
@include zen-grid-container(); // Define the container for your grid items.
}

$zen-column-count: 12; // Set the number of grid columns to use in this media
// query. You'll likely want a different grid for
// different screen sizes.

@media all and (min-width: 50em) {
.sidebar1 {
@include zen-grid-item(3, 1); // Span 3 columns starting in 1st column.
}
.content {
@include zen-grid-item(6, 4); // Span 6 columns starting in 4th column.
}
.sidebar2 {
@include zen-grid-item(3, 10); // Span 3 columns starting in 10th column.
}
}

Within the .container element, the .sidebar1, .sidebar2 and .content elements
can be in any order.

Zen Grids has built-in support for the Box-sizing Polyfill which adds
"box-sizing: border-box" support to IE7 and earlier.

• Download the polyfill at https://github.com/Schepp/box-sizing-polyfill
• Place the boxsizing.htc file in your website.
• Set Zen Grids' $box-sizing-polyfill-path variable to the absolute path to the boxsizing.htc file on your website. For example: $box-sizing-polyfill-path: "/scripts/polyfills/boxsizing.htc";
