Yes. Just as with other languages, where you learn containership, inheritance, operator precedence, there is a rich collection, and an 80/20 rule of 80% of the time you can get by knowing 20% of the options, and looking up the rest when you need to. 1. # designates the unique ID of a single item. 2. . specifies a class of items 3. element name (like p or UL) restricts the style assignment to a single element type. 4. Two of these in a row specifies elements within elements, i.e., 5. ul.picklist li specifies listitems contained within an unordered list of class picklist 6. a comma-separated list of selectors means the styles apply to each. For reference, my mentors who know a lot more about this than me generally recommend against using the site you've cited, and suggest reference.sitepoint.com or dev.mozilla.org for better and more up-to-date info. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4svjdgjead26y3bpksuvbh1oxt7rwdyj85z4zjr4pk...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
