It's a safely net, so as prefixed things like box-shadow become standard, non-prefixed additions to a browser, the proper syntax wins in the specificity and you don't need to go back and fix everything you ever did. Also, older versions of a browser that don't render non-prefixed styles still get the fun stuff. Im sure others will be more technical in their answers ;-) -- Tom Livingston | Senior Interactive Developer | Media Logic | ph: 518.456.3015x231 | fx: 518.456.4279 | mlinc.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@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/
