[WSG] pagesauce.com

[Tim Yang]

Hi

I'm just floating an idea. I was quite interested several months ago in
re-doing some big non-standards sites like slate.com into standards
compliance for my portfolio. I also just wanted to find out if I had the
skills to meet the challenge.

It was a really interesting experience when I forced myself to re-create
what was once a tabled site just using CSS and XHTML. I re-markedup the
home page of afl.com.au over a period of about a month. And when I told my
after-work project to a few designers, they were really interested in it.
So I created a website to explain what I was doing.

It's at http://pagesauce.com/

Just tell me if I'm just plain nuts, ok? Or if I just the whole thing wrong.

Tim

Re: [WSG] Inheritance question

Thanks for the reply Justin.
I must have been mistaken about that forced inheritance thing. Would 
have been nice to have it, though.

I tried googling for it, but all I got were pages describing what 
inheritance was.
You can set a property for all children of a selector with an asterix: 
#something * { ... }; but this could be overridden by another selector 
further down the stylesheet, like #something div { ... }.

I don't know of any way to *force* inheritance, or for something to 
inherit all parent properties... usually inheritance is done one 
rule at a time.

Re: [WSG] International meetings

[Tim Yang]

How might we arrange for meetings between members within our city? Is 
there a way to contact them? Our email addresses aren't listed (yet).
