[WSG] Understanding inheritance (well, trying to)

There's something about inheritance that I don't understand. Say in my style sheet I have: body { color: black } #content {} #hilite p { color: red } If I have three paragraphs in the div #hilite and I want the text of one of them to be black instead of red, I define this class for that

Hope, This second rule of yours is not being applied as it has less weight than the first rule. This is due to specificity. Specificity is used to determine which rules will be applied to elements if there are conflicts - such as different color properties being applied to the p element. Your

2005-07-23 Thread Joe Huggins
Hello, This has to do with specificity. The use of the id in #hilite p is a more specific rule than the class in .normal. When you re-write it to #hilite .normal that rule now becomes more specific. An id is more specific than a class. For more on this:

Hi If you use a server side language to deliver dynamic markup coded to the W3C standards the important thing is to drive the code, not let the language drive how you work and what gets sent to the client. It can be frustrating hearing the html is like that because XYZ language exports the html

I think you will find that coldfusion makes life harder in respect to web standards compliance. The code I have seen being churned out looks like it has gone through a mangler with huge chunks of white space etc. In general though, I agree with James, the server side language should not really

Are we done now? Let me just say (as I wrote the offending line on the Max Design/Webboy sites) that I referred to ASP and not ASP.NET as not being a rapid development language (and I am right, it isn't... I used todo ASP sites). I really don't care what languages other people use, they
