if you have an element: <div id="foo" class="bar" /> you can select it with any of the following: div div#foo div#foo.bar div.bar #foo #foo.bar .bar the last three really mean: #foo = *#foo (or, any element type whose id is foo) #foo.bar = *#foo.bar (or, any element type whose id is foo and whose class is bar) .bar = *.bar (or, any element type, with any id, whose class is bar) on the same token, you can use: div#foo.bar:hover div#foo:hover div:hover #foo.bar:hover #foo:hover .bar:hover and most interesting, :hover you can take any of the pieces off of the full css selector (div#foo.bar:hover) and it will magically replace that piece with a *. that's why it cascades :-) i don't know if that made any sense at all, but that's how it works... justin -- http://justinhileman.com _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
