I should note that this code will not work properly in older browsers which do not support CSS3 syntax. However if you’re looking for a quick solution and don’t care about legacy support, this is the best chunk of code you’ll find! Great for adding big photographs into the background of your website while keeping them resizable and fixed as you scroll

Some newer web browsers will allow you to define the highlight color on your webpage. This is set to light blue by default, but you can setup any color value.

blockquote {
background: #f9f9f9;
border-left: 10px solid #ccc;
margin: 1.5em 10px;
padding: .5em 10px;
quotes: “\201C””\201D””\2018″”\2019”;
}
blockquote:before {
color: #ccc;
content: open-quote;
font-size: 4em;
line-height: .1em;
margin-right: .25em;
vertical-align: -.4em;
}
blockquote p {
display: inline;
}

The blockquote displays in standards-compliant browsers with the “big quotes before” effect, and in IE with a thick left border and a light grey background.
Unlike other blockquote techniques, this style does not require a nested block-level element (like p). As such, it turns a paragraph into an inline-styled element to keep the content from dropping below the quote.

.clearfix:after { content: “.”; display: block; clear: both; visibility: hidden; line-height: 0; height: 0; }
.clearfix { display: inline-block; }

html[xmlns] .clearfix { display: block; }
* html .clearfix { height: 1%; }

This clearfix code has been around the Web for years circulating amongst savvy web developers. You should apply this class onto a container which holds floating elements. This will ensure any content which comes afterwards will not float but instead be pushed down and cleared.
