Hi
Is specifying attributes (basic font size, colour etc) with a "body"
tag in a style sheet as good as putting those things in a basic "p"
tag for the sheet?
If the answer is that using "p" rather than "body" is more reliable,
how do you specify the page background colour in css?
Is it true that to meet official standards all css sheets should be
presented in
lower case? Would that include things like "BODY" ("body"), TD,
A:ACTIVE etc?
Off the topic, but if you have two different (unrelated) bits of
javascript being used in a page, should the stuff that goes into the
head part of the doc be listed as two separate but consecutive
<script>blah</script> things, or can the two sections of script info
follow each other within one-only opening </script> and one-only
</script> (sorry, little knowledge of javascript - just pasting it
in).
Can anyone tell me a simple way of inserting some sort of code into a
Dreamweaver template (it goes at the bottom of the page in Copyright
info) that will cause the current year to be automatically inserted at
spot X when the pages are viewed that were produced from the template
or are linked to it?
Thanks
Dave

Depends. There are various browser issues with inheritence which means
that sometimes specifying for the most deeply nested element is a good
idea. But generally specifying styles that apply to the whole page via
the body selector is fine.

No.
However, note that under some circumstances a style using BODY {} will
not match XHTML using <body>. This is not an issue with HTML but can
be with XHTML (if the browser is parsing it as XML/XHTML rather than
as HTML, etc.).

One script element. Or better still, one external .js file.

Thanks Steve,
if I were to use the selector
body { }
then, is it best to add to it such as
body tr td { }
?
Is it true that browsers can "forget" to apply those (body) attributes
to text that is in table cells of within <div> tags?

The first selector matchs the body only, the second matches table cell
elements only. Depending on what you want to do they may or may not be
useful/

Some browsers do not inherit some properties into tables; and some
browsers may or may not depending on what doctype you use.

When I say this, I'm also referring to the way I write my functions.
It seems to me sometimes that I shouldn't have many void functions

I need to make each site have a different color of those items. How do
I make the changes to each page, but keep the same .CSS?
Any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated!
