Hello,
It is strange to me that html and css use different names for variables
which define the same properties. For example if I whant to define text
color from html document I write:
<body text="#dddddd">
And to define text color from css file I need to write:
body {color: "#dddddd";}
In the first example one need to use "text" in the second example
"color". Do you know where I can find an html-css dictionary in
Internet? Or at least, where I can find full list of css variable
names? For example I have in <body> tag bottomMargin="0 " and I would
like to set value of this parameter from css file and I am not sure
that in css file I can just write:
body {bottomMargin: "0"}

No, it is not. CSS has lots more properties, andthey are usually
applicable to many elements, instead of one.
And variable is very wrong term...
For example if I whant to define text
color from html document I write:
<body text="#dddddd">
And to define text color from css file I need to write:
body {color: "#dddddd";}
That is because with CSS, you can set border to body {border-style:solid}
and then the color is inherited. So it doesn't mean just text color.
Do you know where I can find an html-css dictionary in Internet?
There is no such thing, it's like dictionary of C++ and English, makes
not much sence... (but might be fun)
Or at least, where I can find full list of css variable
names?
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/propidx.html
For example I have in <body> tag bottomMargin="0 "
Notice that bottomMargin is not html...
margin-bottom:0;

(There are no quotes around colours in CSS)
Overall, CSS is more consistant.

Why? CSS isn't only for use with HTML. It can be used by any
structured document. By the way, HTML has attributes, and CSS has
properties. Neither have variables. :)
For example if I whant to define text color from html document I write:
<body text="#dddddd">
And to define text color from css file I need to write:
body {color: "#dddddd";}
Without the quotes in the CSS example.
In the first example one need to use "text" in the second example
"color".
Yes, however the color property can affect more than just the text
within a document. Other features, such as borders, may also use this
value if they don't have their own explicitly set.
Do you know where I can find an html-css dictionary in Internet?
The HTML specification[1] itself usually provides CSS examples for
deprecated presentational elements and attributes.
Or at least, where I can find full list of css variable names?
The CSS specification[2] has a property index[3], just like the HTML
specification has an attribute and element index.
[snip]
body {bottomMargin: "0"}
Almost.
body {
margin-bottom: 0;
}
You can also specify all sides using the shorthand notation. It takes
all four sides in clockwise order: top, right, bottom, and left. If a
latter value is missing, it uses the value of its opposite side. For
example,
1) margin: 1ex;
All sides have a margin of 1ex.
2) margin: 0 3px;
The top and bottom sides have no margin, whilst the left and
right have a 3px margin.
3) margin: 0 3px 1em;
The top side has no margin, the bottom has a 1em margin, and the
left and right have a 3px margin.
Note that non-zero values must be accompanied by a unit. See section
4.3.2 - Lengths[4] for more information.
Hope that helps,
Mike

Not really very strange; HTML and CSS are different languages. The
fact that they sometimes use different words for similar meanings is no
stranger than the fact that what is called "dog" in English is "perro"
in Spanish and "chien" in French.

At least for most parts of Indiana. Whereas most of the state is in
the (US) Eastern time zone, the northwestern and southwestern
"corners" are in the Central time zone (I suppose the northwest has
the excuse of wanting to be in the same time zone as Chicago, IL,
which is across the border and which domaiteds that region). The
parts of Indiana that are in the Central time zone do in fact observe
Daylight savings time, whereas the Eastern time zone does not. To make
things complicated, there are also a few counties in the Eastern time
zone part of the state that do observe Daylight savings time.
<http://www.mccsc.edu/time.html>
ObCIWAH: there must be a lesson about standards somewhere in there.

In my opinion an absolute YES !

lowest level of programming (something like assembly as oposed to C++ etc.).
These tools create "brain-dead" developers that constantly have to plough
