David,
I am a C#.net programmer with several years of front-end design experience. I
learned the disciplines in isolation and never considered asking the questions
you are asking. Your questions really intrigued me.

Hi David,
Though I am not a very good programmer, I am somewhat familiar with
object-oriented programming languages and methodologies.
So I don't know how accurately I can answer the question, but I can tell you
that I certainly believe it is possible to write HTML and CSS in an
Perhaps the confusion comes from the word class. A class is just a
name that tells the browser, When you render this item, use these
settings. Outside of that, a class doesn't do anything like what an
object in OOP does. A class doesn't know how to render itself it. A
class doesn't respond to
I think I was following along until now. I was assuming that the equivalent of
classes in front-end is simply writing CSS to allow blocks of HTML to be
modular; able to fit in a variety of wrappers without the need to rewrite HTML.
I was also assuming that object oriented CSS meant that the
A class is just a way of assigning certain properties or group of properties to
something on the page. You can assign a class to a wrapper/container/content
div, you can assign a class to a paragraph, and you can even assign a class to
a single letter or single word, image, or table/table cell.

about.
A couple of other points. I'm sorry I've probably confused people with
terminology.

Hi,

Hi - I realize this is a very basic question, but the more I try to
figure it out the more confused I get. So maybe one of you can set me
straight!
When using classes (or id's) - what is the correct way to do the
following:
a.leftborder {color: #ff;} OR
.leftborder a {color: #ff;} OR
It depends on what you are trying to do... Each of these does something
slightly different:
a.leftborder {color: #ff;}
/* all anchors having the leftborder class will be white
e.g. a href=foo.html class=leftborderbar/a
*/
.leftborder a {color: #ff;}
/* all anchors inside an element

CLASSes can be used on *multiple* elements, whereas an ID can only be used
on one element per page. In addition, you can use multiple CLASSes on a
single element, but only one ID.
I *think* that the advantage an ID has over a CLASS is that the ID has a
higher priority, so that if you
