This plugin adds the 960 Grid System framework to Compass.

gem install compass-960-plugin

compass create -r ninesixty my_project --using 960

Or, If you prefer to use Sass's indentation based syntax:

compass create -r ninesixty my_project --using 960 --syntax sass

Then edit your grid.sass and text.sass files accordingly. A reset is added into grid.sass automatically.

To create a grid system with other number of columns use the +grid-system mixin to generate the corresponding classes.

Example:

#wrap
  +grid-system(24)

• Use the +grid-container mixin to declare your container element.
• Use the +grid mixin to declare a grid element.
• Use the +alpha and +omega mixins to declare the first and last grid elements for a row.
• User the +grid-prefix and +grid-suffix mixins to add grid columns before or after a grid element.

Example:

#wrap
  +grid-container
  #left-nav
    +alpha
    +grid(5,16)
  #main-content
    +grid-prefix(1,16)
    +grid(10, 16)
    +omega
