CSS Question

[Zenax]

Ok Dudes,

I don't know if this is possible, but is it possible to apply two classes too one div?

I don't think that would be possible (but don't quote me on it)...At some stage, I'm sure one of the classes would be 'overwritten' by the other....


But I can think of many ways in which you could use this method though - but just differently:

**applying a class to a <div></div> element whilst having a different class for a <span></span> or <table></table> or other element....which is inside the original div element.

<div class="divclass">
         <span class="spanclass">Span Text</span>
</div>

Yes, you can. And it's simpler than you think.

<div class="class1 class2"></div>

Note that there is a space between the classes you want to implement.

Oh yeah, in your CSS files, if those two classes have conflicting declarations (e.g. class1 has a background colour of blue, class2 has a background colour of green), I'm pretty sure the second class would override the first one.

Tried that and it didn't work.
However problem has been solved!

I didn't actually know that you could do that....until it didn't work for Zenax...but interesting though
(Cubeform have you used this method before?)

Erm what this question was relevant for, was that I was using the curvycorners script to create curvy corners, and one of the methods is for it too look for a class with a certain name, and then I wanted a second class after that, but it didn't work.

However, I have solved the problem, by using the divs I want curved to have a class and a ID.

and the ones I don't curved, I just use a normal class!

Yeah, that worked!

I'd actually forgot about ID's - I think they only apply to one element (they can only be used once), with classes able to be used on multiple items.

But, what you've done is used that for very specific customisation of the elements on your page!
