Yes, that’s correct. It’s the attribute selector. Whatever goes into the brackets is an attribute, and that can be any attribute on the HTML selector. Shameless self-plug: there’s some crazy stuff you can do with the attribute selector: http://blog.frankmtaylor.com/2012/04/27/css-sorcery-perfo

I’m unfamiliar with the Compass syntax. However, the syntax looks old. First get the wrapper in order: start with “display:flex” for the parent container. then “flex-direction: row” to set the orientation of the child elements. Then justify-content. justify-content will set the position of yo

[css-d] Flexbox not working on Fieldset

2014-08-06 Thread Frank Taylor
Howdy all, I’ve noticed this for a while, but it’s starting to drive me nuts. It seems like Flexbox properties don’t work on the element in Chrome or FireFox. Is there a reason for this? Are form elements not supposed to use the flex box module? here’s a quick example: http://www.cssdesk.
