Miva Merchant Elements CSS Cheat Sheet

This is a quick list of Elements CSS classes I put together over a couple glasses of scotch at the end of the night. Let me know if you see any problems.

Update Dec 2020: Matt Zimmerman has updated the online style guide which is now a great resource: https://docs.miva.com/readytheme-shadows/#overview-style-guide

CSS Objects

CSS Layout

Breakpoints for grid items for the most part seems to happen automatically in the Elements CSS framework. If a class has known breakpoint modifiers, they ( --s --m --l --w ) can be added to the end of the class name.

Simple layout example. The widths can be 1-12 and can be mixed and matched. Columns will wrap if the widths in a layout add up to more than 12. More information on widths at the bottom of the components section.

### two columns


<div class="o-layout">
    <div class="o-layout__item u-width-6">
    </div>
    <div class="o-layout__item u-width-6">
    </div>
</div>
