OK. So. Can I still use the different body IDs to send different bg
images
to the HTML element or is that somehow flawed?
Afraid not, as it isn't possible in CSS for the presence of something
to affect the styling of an ancestor or (putting it the other way
around) for something to be styled differently based on its
descendants; so you can't do things like the XPath expression:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'a']]
which selects an "html" element that has a child "body" element that
has an "id" attribute with value"a".
I once read an explanation of why CSS selectors can't do this, but I
can't find it now.
Regards,
Nick.
