1/ it is a recommended practice to set both background colour and foreground colour at the same time
2/ it could be for overriding a previous, or less specific rule. p {background:lime;} p.foo {background:transparent;} etc. Philippe --- Philippe Wittenbergh <http://emps.l-c-n.com/> ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
