Re: [css-d] question about combining descendant selectors

2009-01-08 Thread Dan Gayle
Your selectors are wrong. You aren't using descendent selectors for .article. You are saying .hm #news_snip .date has the color green AND ALSO .article has the color green, because of the comma. That means you have two declarations for .article, and the second one is over-riding the first.

That's way more code than just styling it inline, IMHO. Even if you were going to do it this way, it would be better to create simpler classes: a{color:red;} .blue{color:blue;} .green{color:green;} A class overrides a simple element selector, so the classed span (.blue) would override the
