blueprint/scaffolding doesn't work for me properly.

[Maxim Lacrima]

Hi!

I am building layout for my site with blueprint. Suppose I have:

.container {
@include container;
@extend .showgrid;

#section {
@include column($blueprint-grid-columns, true);

#subsection1 {
@extend .border;
@include column($blueprint-grid-columns/2);
}
#subsection2 {
@include column($blueprint-grid-columns/2, true);
}
}
}

According to this code #section spans 24 columns, and it includes two
subsections that span 12 columns. #subsection1 should be separated
from #subxection2 by vertical border. The problem is that the presence
of the border (@extend .border) breaks the layout, so #subsection2
jumps to the next line. Without the border the subsections sit nicely
alongside of each other. I am newbie to compass and SCSS and most
likely I am doing something wrong. But what is wrong with the code
above?

And I have another question concerning screen.sccs, which is generated
during creation of a project. Lines 38-39:
#header, #footer {
@include column($blueprint-grid-columns); }
Shouldn't this be @include column($blueprint-grid-columns, true),
because #header and #footer are last columns?

Thanks in advance. Sorry for my English.

I have the same question... how do you get compass to take into account a border when doing sizing?

If I do something as simple as 

.item 

{

  border: 1px solid black;

  @include column(8, true);

}

then with a 24 column grid, 3 items... 3rd item spills over.

i see there is a mixin for setting a right side border on items but i cant find anything to set the entire border...

http://beta.compass-style.org/docs/reference/blueprint/grid/#mixin-border-scss

yes, it only applies to the right side... i'm clueless on how to
proceed.

unfortunately, http://beta.compass-style.org/docs/tutorials/blueprint/
doesn't actually give a tutorial on blueprint, nor links to a
tutorial. thus i will search for a tutorial and post it back to the
group (and comment it on the new docs).

I don't think you have considered that the border applied by blueprint
occupies
one column width itself. You need to account for this in your sizing
of subsection1.
Perhaps: $blueprint-grid-columns/2-1 is what you need.

Blueprint permits the use of class="span-24" without last when the
span size equals
the enclosing container size. What you describe above mirrors this.

Which as far as i can tell isnt available w/ compass unless you drop down into blueprint directly.
