Entry 1661

Ok, I will do a CSS based design for my site over spring break After talking to caillon on #Mozillazine (thank you), I realize it's possible to do what I want to do... also, I've never read the CSS2 standard, so I'm doing that now. When CSS1 came out I read it, but CSS2 is so enormous that I never got around to reading it. (Check out /programmming/#specifications for links to the specs) (I hate how Internet Explorer is too stupid to go to anchors correctly)

You really have to read the specs for these things to fully understand them. I've never bought a book on HTML, the specs have always been enough. Once you read the specs you know everything there is, so you don't need a book. (That's one of the reasons I'm annoyed that the C and C++ specs aren't freely available.)

Do you know that element.classname {} is short for element[class~=classname]? Or what the |= operator does? Or that .classname is short for *.classname? Or that they fixed the !important declarations in CSS2 so that the user gets final say?
