I'm a shameless novice at CSS at the moment.
I'm just going through CSS at http://cssxcountry.codeschool.com and Just thought I'd take a second to note down some things that need noting in my head about CSS. This post therefore will be messy and perpetually unfinished. You were warned.
Targetting CSS:
<h1> is caught with h1 { someCSS; }
class="coffee" is caught with .coffee { someCSS; }
and,
id="tea" is caught with #tea
Compound CSS: multi-word classes or IDs
First, if class="some thing"
the CSS for it will NOT be .some thing, it will be .some.thing as it is like having class="some" and class="thing"
Note: I don't know if having multiple classes in the CSS is even allowable.
Text:
center is a possible option for text-align
bold, italic and similar are in font-style
Other:
CSS does not care if it has a space between an attribute and value.
float: right;
float:right;
Both are valid.
Elements in CSS are space separated, whereas classes or IDs are attached. li p.intro#first
ShorthandCSS fragments from http://www.dustindiaz.com/css-shorthand/
Font
element {
font-style: normal;
font-variant:normal;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: inherit;
line-height: normal;
font-family:inherit;
}
font shorthand oddity: http://www.impressivewebs.com/css-font-shorthand-property-cheat-sheet/
The style, variant and weight can be ommited and the line-height is seperated by the / character.
Margin
element {
margin-top: number+unit;
margin-right: number+unit;
margin-bottom: number+unit;
margin-left: number+unit;
}
