I just remember it as clockwise, starting from the top. This works completely obviously for 4 values, and pretty obviously for 2 (top/bottom and left/right 'mirror' each other). For 3 (which is by far the hardest to remember), you just need to bear in mind that it's more common to have differing top/bottom values than it is left/right, so the repeated value is, instinctively, the left/right one. 1 value isn't a problem :) Those spec-writers actually did things pretty logically when they were drafting CSS! - Bobby ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
