Sorry if this is OT :(
Try a group on stylesheets if you have a CSS question.
I have some old CSS files that have all class names preceded with
tagname, like "TD.verysmall" or "span.important". I'm exeprimenting
with Dreamwiever and I noticed that, when making new class, DW doesn't
ask me for which tag it is. I also noticed that classes in some
template css files don't have tagnames in front.
So, should I make classes with or without tagnames in front?
CSS doesn't allow you to "make classes", it allows you to write rules
with selectors, if you have a selector
.classname
then the rule applies to all elements having the class attribute set to
include that class name e.g to
<p class="classname">
as well as
<span class="classname">
If you use
elementname.classname
e.g.
p.classname
then the rule only applies to <p> elements but not <span> elements.
Which selector to choose depends on your needs.
