How do you organize your CSS? How do you come up with id and class names (what naming conventions do you use)?

    I name them in reference to what they are and then separate them by type

    text options, template structure , menu options etc then

    headercontainer
    header
    headermenu
    sidebarright
    sidebarrightform
    footercontainer
    footer
    footermenu

      Wow you are suffering from classitis and idsittis; of all of those you only need: #header, #sidebar, #footer, .wrapper, .submit

      ex. #sidebar form input.submit

    The names of classes and IDs have to reflect to "your" and to the elements name. So for example, if you need to style a menu then you would name the ID as #menu (unless this same menu, same style, will need to be used in another place of the same page, in that case you will want to instead create a class rather then an ID for the menu).

    It just really depends..on you, so you know where to go when you see a bug or need to make a modification.

      In addition to the already mentioned naming conventions, it is a standard procedure to start a div or class name with a lower case letter and capitalize the next words within the name. For instance, a div that would refer to a bottom right sidebar should ideally be named sidebarBottomRight
