IntroductionThe Fluid Skinning System (FSS) is a group of CSS files with a specially designed modular structure and class-specific format. It is meant to work well as both a standalone CSS foundation for your site and our components, and as the CSS engine of the (Floe) UI Options (2008-2009) component. This page describes the FSS classnames and what they do, when to use them, and how to extend them. This page is intended as a reference only. See Fluid Skinning System (FSS) for an overview of the FSS and how to use it, and see the examples and walkthroughs for specific examples of the various classes in use. Wiki Markup |

Class Names By FunctionLayoutFile: fss-layout.css : Basic layout structures. This section requires an understanding of inheritance. Container WidthsThese are general classes that will affect the width of whatever element they are applied to. They can be used in conjunction with the column container classes (described below) to control the width of the column container. Wiki Markup | {table-plus:class=api}
|| Class Name || Description || Notes ||Variants ||
| fl-container-\* \\
(fixed widths)| Forces an element to be a certain width (eg. 100 = 100px) | |100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, 950, 1000\\
e.g. fl-container-900 |
| fl-container-\* \\
(relative widths)| Used to create flexible-width containers that depend on the width of their parents (eg. flex25 = 25% of its parent's width) | {{fl-container-auto}} defaults to the full width of its parent. *{{fl-container}}* has no effect on inline elements |auto, flex, flex25, flex30, flex33, flex50\\
e.g. fl- container-flex33\\
{color:purple}New in v1.4{color}: flex1-flex99 i.e. every number, providing widths from 1% to 99%\\
e.g. fl-container-flex57 |

| fl-col-flex\* | Identifies the container for equal width columns (eg. flex2 = 2 columns). Columns have flexible widths & gutters, and depend on the parents width | |flex2, flex3, flex4, flex5 \\
e.g. fl-col-flex3|

e.g. fl-col-mixed-250 |
| fl-col-fixed | In a mixed column setup, identifies the fixed column(s). | requires *{{fl-force-left}}* on at least one of the fixed-width columns, and *{{fl-force-left}}* or *{{fl-force-right}}* on others, for alignment; must be placed before *{{fl-col-flex* columns}} | |
| fl-col-flex | In a mixed column setup, identifies the flexible column. used when the fixed-width column is forced left. Note that you can only have *one* flexible-width column in this setup. | must be placed after any *{{fl-col-fixed}}* columns | |
