I have a co-worker, that whenever he creates a class, puts "div" in
front of it if the class is being assigned to a div. Here's an example:
div.container {
background-color: #fff;
margin-bottom: 18px;
}
div.container div.container_inner {
border: 1px solid #bbb;
margin-left: 8px;
}
div.container div.inset {
padding: 3px;
}
As you can see, the code can get messy rather quickly. He says he
does it to avoid conflicts. My argument is that you should only do
that when you specifically want the class only to apply to a div. If
I want to use the class on another element I can't without creating a
new rule. I would think the better way would be to create the class
without the "div." part first and in the future add the "div." part
if I need to be more specific. This allows the CSS to be more generic
and cleaner.
Any thoughts? Do you think the above code is good, bad, doesn't
matter and why
