We all learn as we go. Just some of us have been going longer. :) I learned
that trick on this very list a few years ago. It's come in handy quite a few
times since.
Not only can you apply multiple classes to elements, you can also select
elements with both classes and apply styles to only things with both.
For example:
.column {width: 48%}
.left {float: left}
.left.column {
border-right: 1px solid #333;
padding-right: 1em;
}
Note the lack of a space in the last selector.
This code will make anything labeled as a column have a 48% width, and anything
labeled as left float left. So class="left column" will be 48% and floated
left. But that last style will also give left columns a bit of white space and
a border for a column rule effect.
The possibilities are pretty nifty when you get into it.
