John,

Maybe it wrapped in your mail window?  It still works for me.

Last August when Wade presented on CSS at our UPHPU meeting, I took notes and posted them to my blog[1]. For whatever reason now, someone found them and included them in a list of "70 expert ideas for CSS coding"[2]. (Thanks Wade!)

One of Wade's ideas, which really resonated with me as efficient and clever, was to create a "library" of CSS classes that you regularly use. For example:

.float_left
{
    float:left;
}

Then you can easily write <div class="float_left"></div> in your code.

Someone commented on my post today that this actually breaks semantic markup, which appears to be true. Float_left is a presentational directive, so should it really be used?

I'm sure Wade probably argued that the convenience of a CSS class library outweighs the disadvantages of not having perfectly semantic HTML. I probably just forgot to write it in my notes.

In any case, Wade's presentation and the article that linked to it today are both quite good for CSS.
