then use i./i in the text. Not brilliant, certainly not semantic,
but it seems to work. I wanted to avoid a long 'span' and use a simple
(short) tag.
I doubt that anyone can spot an italicised period. . :-) !
you could also apply a style to make the period not be italicised too.
Maybe I missed the point, but why not use nbsp; in this case?
I thought the idea was that the text was being inserted without formatting, and
that the author is
looking for a way to apply two spaces to as typed text that otherwise is
having whitespace
compressed. The first 3 thoughts I had would not work. I then went to using
unobtrusive
javascript to fix the markup after it's delivered to the browser, (assuming
server-side
intervention is not possible) but that is definately not a CSS solution.

Re: [css-d] Four that could be two
I think the active state is used if you keyboard navigate the links without activating them. The link that will be followed by pressing the space/enter key can be active without sharing the hover status. True, many people navigate solely with the mouse. As a general rule, I would suggest being extra explicit about your selectors and rules rather than relying on default behaviors.

[css-d] Selector complexity
Is there any known performance impact to possibly overly specific selectors?
ex:
#CategoryList li.Category ul li.product ul li.ciDsc a:hover {}
(vs.)
li.ciDsc a:hover {}
The first case is extremely specific and clues the reader to the structure of
the document
Does the second case incur less parse/render overhead?
I normally opt for readability, but I have recently executed a styled list of
links from what was
once a table-based layout. The page display performance is pretty terrible. I
would post a url,
but this is part of a redesign rollout that is not yet public.

[css-d] menu help
Can someone explain to me why IE removes the background from Menu11 when the browser is resized so the viewport is smaller than the top menu bar? http://www.pgi_products.com/test/cssmenu2.asp?CM=3 (remove the underscore) I know the graphic and color schemes are terrible, and a coworker was complaining about font size and family, etc. This proof of concept is close enough to working to be promising: css only 2 line menu (except for IE .htc) - but if I can't figure out why IE is rendering incorrectly, I will have to find a new solution.

Re: [css-d] class vs. id
I think the idea was that the wiki would stay evergreen while the past discussion would not be as available to new members (or existing members who don't feel like searching archives) Wiki pages are also more easily referred to in response to new questions than an old discussion thread.

Re: [css-d] Help my design team move away from nested tables
If a page is composed entirely of a 'cut up' Photoshop image, what value is CSS? If the page is created and managed as a photoshop document, is there any useful presentation feature offered by CSS? There is no font control (sizing, face, etc.) there is no color control, there is no (real) hope of liquid layout, there is no alternate stylesheet. If marketing decides to 'tweak' the page, you're going back to the original photoshop document. I don't see how a site made of pages like this is much different than an interconnected PDF that pops up in your browser. Our webmaster draws pictures in photoshop and gets approval for pages using those images, then he'll create a FrontPage mockup - which is essentially the photoshop document polluted with Frontpage markup. The multipage mess is then handed over to me to make functional by adding infrastructure that should have been built first. Am I wrong to believe this is not a 'best practice' way to go about web design? (sorry for the wandering rant) ...Anyone have a favorite URL for 'best practice' web design?

Re: [css-d] Text decoration help
em is a tag that semantically implies emphasis
If your CSS does not get applied, the default rendering of the em tag should
still provide
emphasis, while the p tag with a class does not have the same implicit meaning.
font-style controls italics
text-decoration controls underline
does this work?:
em { font-weight: 900; font-style: normal; text-decoration: underline; }

Angus,
Try CSS something like..
.shout-it { font-weight: 900; text-decoration: underline; }
Then html like:
p class=shout-itThis is bold underline/p
Using em as a class or id name is probably a bad idea.

Re: [css-d] Why add an .img class?
define uncluttered Good markup should describe the content. If there is semantically correct information about the tags that is not immediately used by the current stylesheet, that does not mean the information is 'clutter.' I would prefer the content creator add appropriate classes describing the content (though not the layout preferences) so that the presentation layer (css) has more opportunity to specifically style the content. It becomes very difficult to later isolate specific elements in a document if those elements do not have appropriate classes.

As a beginner, perhaps I've focused too much on the value of uncluttered markup. So far as I can see, I was able to complete all of the tasks of that chapter (including changing margins, etc.) without cluttering the markup with a class that to this beginner seemed unnecessary. I would have supposed that if in the future I made a change such as adding text to the dd with an image, then I would need a class and could then add it at that point, and I wondered why do it until/unless it's needed. I gather from the replies that experienced CSS coders would often prefer to be prepared for such a possible future need, even though it may mean adding classes to the html markup that aren't actually needed, at least at this time. It's helpful for me to think about these things, and I thank all of you for your help.

Re: [css-d] Music Files and CSS
By that definition there should be no background: url(anything)
I know it's difficult enough to find support for current levels of CSS specs, but the user
experience on the Web will likely continue to evolve to a point where audio will be as much a part
of a site's style as the images or fonts. [perhaps body{background-audio: url(mymusic.mp3);} ]
I don't think it was unrealistic for Peggy to ask the question.

Peggy:
I don't think CSS is going to help you there. Here is the definition of CSS straight from the
spec:
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a simple mechanism for adding style
(e.g. fonts, colors, spacing) to Web documents.
CSS is used for styling, not content. I think what might work better is the 'object' tag, or
maybe you could create a Flash applet. I think JavaScript might be able to handle sound, but don't
quote me on that one.

Re: [css-d] Inline links, background images and MSIE
I would suggest for the sake of the future, (where the CSS gets moved to another directory and you
have to update the markup to reflect the change) that the only relative paths you use are relative
to the root: /images/whatever.gif Otherwise, you may have to update the markup referring to the
CSS as well as go through the CSS to change paths to images that haven't even been moved.
Also, for security reasons some administrators may uncheck the allow parent paths checkbox to
disable the .. directory from working.
YMMV
If your images were in a images folder (or directory) this would be the
correct way:
- - - O R - - -
a {
background: #fff; url(../images/arrow-selected.gif) 0 50% no-
repeat;
padding-left: 1em;
}
