This plugin adds the Elastic CSS framework to Compass.

Install

sudo gem install chriseppstein-compass
sudo gem install chriseppstein-compass-960-plugin

Create a 960-based Compass Project

compass -r elastic -f elastic <project name>

Then edit your grid.sass and text.sass files accordingly. A reset is added into grid.sass automatically.

Customizing your Grid System

To create a grid system with other number of columns use the +grid-system mixin to generate the corresponding classes.

Example:

#wrap
  +grid-system(24)

Making Semantic Grids

• Use the +grid-container mixin to declare your container element.
• Use the +grid mixin to declare a grid element.
• Use the +alpha and +omega mixins to declare the first and last grid elements for a row.
• User the +grid-prefix and +grid-suffix mixins to add grid columns before or after a grid element.

Example:

#wrap
  +grid-container
  #left-nav
    +alpha
    +grid(5,16)
  #main-content
    +grid-prefix(1,16)
    +grid(10, 16)
    +omega
