What I want is an empty class that has no specific meaning itself but extends another class. This is fine when I have an element within an element because I can set a style for .parent .child I can also set a specific element's style using #child .child I can also say that an element adopts 2 styles with .english .child To partly answer my question I could specify .tall . child where tall is 20% above average But what if a .tall .parent is only 10% taller? -- Kind Regards Chris Price Choctaw chris.pr...@choctaw.co.uk <mailto:chris.pr...@choctaw.co.uk> www.choctaw.co.uk <http://www.choctaw.co.uk> Tel. 01524 825 245 Mob. 0777 629 0227 Choctaw Media Fertile Ground for Websites Follow me on Twitter <http://twitter.com/choctaw> Catch up with me on LinkedIn <http://www.linkedin.com/in/spoonfulofdreams> Its a Living Thing~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >> Sent on behalf of Choctaw Media Ltd << ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Choctaw Media Limited is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 04627649 Registered Office: Priory Close, St Mary's Gate, Lancaster LA1 1XB, United Kingdom. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
