[css-d] CNNs CSS file

2009-03-02 Thread Atkinson, Sarah
I was looking on CNNs site to see what there CSS file looks like

And they have a grouping of common padding. Just though it was interesting. 
What do you guys think? Here is part of it:

/* common paddings */
.cnnPad1Top{padding: 1px 0 0 0;}
.cnnPad2Top{padding-top:2px;}
.cnnPad3Top{padding-top:3px;}
.cnnPad3T{padding-top:3px;}
.cnnPad4Top{padding-top:4px;}
.cnnPad5Top{padding-top:5px;}
.cnnPad6Top{padding-top:6px;}
.cnnPad7Top{padding:7px 0 0 0;}
.cnnPad8Top{padding-top:8px;}
.cnnPad9Top{padding-top:9px;}
.cnnPad12Top{padding-top:12px;}
.cnnPad13Top{padding-top:13px;}
.cnnPad14Top{padding: 14px 0 0 0;}
.cnnPad16Top{padding-top:16px;}
.cnnPad16T{padding-top:16px;}
.cnnPad18Top{padding:18px 0 0 0;}
.cnnPad30Top{padding-top:30px;}
.cnnPad156Top{padding:156px 0 0 0;}

.cnnPad5{padding:5px;}
.cnnPad9{padding:9px;}
.cnnPad8{padding:8px;}
.cnnPad10{padding:10px;}
.cnnPad12{padding:12px;}
.cnnPad18{padding:18px;}

.cnnPad5Left{padding-left:5px;}
.cnnPad6Left{padding-left:6px;}
.cnnPad9Left{padding-left:9px;}
.cnnPad8Left{padding-left:8px;}
.cnnPad12Left{padding-left:12px;}
.cnnPad18Left{padding: 0 0 0 18px;}

I guess they can get away with such bad practice because they're CNN. 
Ever tried validating the Microsoft website? I got 188 errors on the 
landing page last time. They, too, can get away with it because they're 
a titan. Joe Freelancer would have a hard time getting work using those 
practices, I think.

CNN is not alone. None of the major news organizations could code their 
way out of a wet paper bag ;-) .

The CNN content looks something like the CSS emitted by a Content 
Management System my employer used to use. The GUI content editor would 
let users change fonts and colors and sizes and such any way they liked. 
Then, when the document was published, the system would create a CSS 
class to apply that formatting to the selected text. The class name 
might be something like Arial-5-ff66aa-Bold-Underline-Italic ...
