The other basics
Partially because I'm not that good at explaining CSS coding, and partially because the person who wrote this guide is a genius, I'm going to link anyone that doesn't know how to do CSS coding over here:
^-- that guide really is not good. It lacks a lot of information and is also misleading. It leaves more questions than answers. If you want a reference for CSS you should reference my thread
http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/t.81812403/ It doesn't cover the selectors like the one you have listed, but it covers CSS properties and accurately explains them, which is the key part of the CSS since selectors are easy to obtain. The selectors are the only thing good about that thread you have listed.
Thanks for showing me your guide, I'll be sure to use it in the future!
I listed that thread because it was quite useful to me when I was a n00b, but I'll reference your thread for now (I might heavily edit my whole thread because I'm still struggling to make a useful guide)
You'll notice in that thread for instance, it only talks about the background shorthand
Quote:
BACKGROUND COLOR
selector{background: color;}
Which leaves a lot of questions about how each background property works independently and conjointly when in the shorthand method.
The method of getting the IDs of the custom panels in the Current profile is also unnecessary, hovering the panel in edit mode after you have saved the profile with it in there will display the ID of the custom panel.
She doesn't define the purpose of vender prefixes -moz-, filter:, -khtml-, etc like used in the opacity explanation
Quote:
OPACITY
selector{opacity: .8; -moz-opacity: .8; filter:alpha(opacity=80); -khtml-opacity: .8;}
Here's one that really grinds me
Quote:
SCROLLBARS
selector{overflow: scroll; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: auto; height: ##px;}
A lot of pointlessness here. The most you would have to do is specify the overflow-x and overflow-y, not x and y axis overflow and then the shorthand method. This is what her declaration block reads "add the scroll bars to the x & y axis, then hide the x-axis scroll bar and clip the content, but if necessary apply the y-axis scroll bar"
There are just so many things wrong with that thread and it's well out of date on top of that.
I only recommend people reference it for the panel IDs and not for the "CSS explanations and expamples".
