I am going a bit nuts with CSS. Opera and Firefox display my
non/repeating backgrounds with a one repeat. IE does it correctly.
I tried coding it both ways:
..see {
/* background:#ffffff url(images/seealso.gif) no-repeat
scroll 1px 1px; */
border: thin solid;
display: block;
margin: 8px 0px 8px 0px;
padding: 10px 8px 10px 40px;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-color: #ffffff;
background-image: url(images/seealso.gif);
background-position: 1px 1px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
I want to understand how all the rules interact to come up with that
decsion.
What I was hoping was some sort of tool where I could point to a place
in my HTML markup, and it explains the "reasoning" it used to come up
with the attributes to use, i.e. the rules in precedence order that
apply
I'd also like some context-sensitive help. You point to something in a
style sheet and it takes you to the relevant section of some
tutorial/standard to explain what it does.
You could create experimental style sheet with things in them you
don't fully understand.
I eventually figured out the problem was a:link { background: inherit
....
That caused it to start a another repetition of the background image
in Opera and firefox.
Perhaps a language lawyer can tell us how it officially should.
Practically IE has it right.
