: Need a CSS framework that has variables and "mixins" I was using Less CSS but it creates too much duplication. Each HTML page I have includes 3 different stylesheets; two are common to all

@Cofer257

It's quite straightforward to use a server-side language to roll your own CSS framework. Here's a basic example in PHP:

<?php
header('Content-Type: text/css');
$blue = '#00f';
$largeText = '24px';
?>

h1 {
font-size: <?=$largeText?>;
color: <?=$blue?>;
}


For mixins, you'd need to store the whole chunk of CSS in a string.

There are not enough words with which I can describe how awesome SASS is ... it is exactly what you are looking for. It even has a CSS3 superset mode. It is almost god.

And while you are investigating SASS, take a look at Compass (based on sass) - it has ready templates that you can use as mixins for your styles. It includes 960, Blueprint, YUI, and many others (some via plugins).
