Thanks, but that doesn't really answer my question. 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? ------------------------------------------------- Isn't that what .tall.parent does? .tall.parent {height: 110%} .tall.child {height:120%} ---Tim ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
