inherit problem with padding-left

[Wilhelm Kutting]

hi,
when i use the padding-left attribut, i like to overwrite a default
value like that

..padding30 {margin-left: 30px;}
..padding0 {margin-left: 0px;}

<div class="padding30">
Padding 30
<div id="padding0">
<p>Padding 0 </p>
</div>
</div>

Can i get this working?

Where is the padding-left attribute? All I see is margins.
<div class="padding30">
Padding 30
<div id="padding0">

What is it you are trying to achieve? You don't do anything with the
padding of those paragraphs. You just play around with the margins.

<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/box.html#propdef-padding-left> for padding
<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/box.html#propdef-margin-left>

BTW: don't name classes after the effect you're trying to achieve. Name
them more semantically. What if the paragraph with class .padding0, needs
a padding of 3em in a future design?
Also: avoid fixed sizes and lengths where possible. If you use a relative
sizing, your design easily adjusts to visitors explicite wishes for larger
or smaller font sizes or viewport dimensions.

Hello,
bad i tried aout a little bit and posted the last tryout, shame on me.
here is the right css-def.

..padding30 {padding-left: 30px;}
..padding0 {padding-left: 0px;}

What i achive is a padding of 30px on every page except 2 pages with a
padding of 0px.
I don't want to change the padding attribut to 0px on all pages, only on
the 2 special pages.

The problem is, that i can't see a chance to reset or overwrite the
padding-values.

Then first of all: read *both* of the documents I provided you with, with
the two URL's. One for padding and one for margin. If you don't understand
them, and the context they provide, ask a more specific question on what
you don't understand in here.

What Barbara said, plus do not post code. Post the URL of a sample page
instead. And, due to language differences, it would be a good idea to
include in that sample page a mockup of what you are trying to achieve.
