aspnetguy Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 not really.Ids have to be unique so if you use alot of id selectors you are un able to use the CSS code again. But if you assign classes you can reuse the class over and over.Since when has MS ever done anything the easy way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Not to mention that their HTML is ancient and you are suppose to use XHTML, right?Use big sites to see how NOT to do the things. Use smaller but standart compilant sites to see how you SHOULD do the things. See aspnetguy's site (spatterdesign) for instance . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Make an xhtml page as you would normally, then step by step, using classes, switch your formatting attributes with the equivalent css information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't you try getting it back?http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.ph...t=Login&CODE=00See the Attention! box? You should try that. It's not allowed to have two active accounts, so we'll need to know if you can get the old one back, and then we can lock this account. If you can't get zandorian back, we'll just lock that one up and you can continue with this "websupermaster". Please give one of the mods a nudge over PM when you are absolutely sure which one you'd like to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
