good job on your shadowforce website MrA. Your CSS is brilliant.

I think the only way to get a custom title is to develop a habit that the site admin finds amusing, then you get assigned one.

I only have one bad habit and so far it hasn't been reflected in my user title (or whatever it's called).

Thanks for the compliment! ^_^ The CSS Zen Garden is mostly to blame for me messing with CSS and writing more compliant HTML, for the last year I've been dabbling with XML and XHTML is my new love affair! Hopefully when I get some more inspiration I'll redo my homepage with the same (or better) detail AND write different stylesheets to match my various moods or the seasons of the year (etc).

this seems to be a free-for-all topic so sorta on the same topic, how come "ShadowForce" has only Tonnica's and Mr. Analog's heroes? Dante's feeling left out - and you don't want to see him angry, he gets all fired up... (or did you lost my screenshot/bio I sent ya a while ago?)

Did you download, fill out and e-mail your character sheet to Swiss Army Man?

After spending the better part of this morning mucking around with CSS and CSS2, ive become fustrated and impotent.

It seems that one way works great in IE, the other way works great in Firefox/Opera. I cant really find solutions that work well in both.

Im confused a bit on the ID system as well....example:

Code Select

<style type="text/css">
<!--
#table {
	border: 1px solid #000000;
	width: 250px;
}

td#table {
	background-color: #CCCCCC;
}
-->
</style>
</head>

<body>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" id="table">
	<tr>
  <td> </td>
  <td> </td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
  <td> </td>
  <td> </td>
	</tr>
</table>

to me this makes sense, however to Firefox it has no idea what im talking about. is perhaps the table id not inherited by the td?

..ah crap. nevermind. i was reading the W3C wrong. Should actually be...

Code Select

#table {
	border: 1px solid #000000;
	width: 250px;
}

#table td {
	background-color: #CCCCCC;
}

which works as intended, on both browsers none-the-less.

Isn't it supposed to be better to use classes instead of IDs for styles? I'll let Mr. Analog weigh in on that, since he's been mucking around with it for a bit.

Shayne · May 18, 2005, 02:37:15 PM

Thats a good question. They basically work identical from what i can see. i changed the id to class, and the CSS from # to . and it works the same. *shrug*

QuoteThere is often confusion when it is appropriate to use CSS IDs and when CSS Classes should be used instead. This lesson is geared to display an answer as well as provide more information about CSS IDs

Answer:
Use IDs when there is only one occurence per page. Use classes when there are one or more occurences per page.

So im using it correctly. If you were to assign CSS to like a dozen rows, use class as its for non unique, but since my only table is called table, i might as well use the unique.

Mr. Analog · May 18, 2005, 03:42:56 PM

If you look at my CSS you'll notice that I use a lot of inheritance to tell my tags what to do: coh.css

This can be a double edged sword (in my experience), but for this pages purposes it works just fine.

Fine. I'll abide by your rules, O Benevolent Potentate... :rolleyes:
