Abstraction away from CSS

Many frameworks seek to abstract away from HTML (custom tags, JSFs component system) in an effort to make dealing with that particular kettle of fish easier.

Is there anything you folks have used that has a similar concept applied to CSS? Something that does a bunch of cross-browser magic for you, supports like variables (why do I have to type #3c5c8d every time I want that colour), supports calculated fields (which are 'compiled' into CSS and JS), etc.

Alternatively, am I even thinking about this correctly? Am I trying to push a very square block through a very round hole?

Solution

  • You can always use a template engine to add variables and calculated fields to your CSS files.
