I figured out a different way to solve my original problem, however, here
was the circumstance. I am working on a large web 2.0 app. Its using Jack
Slocum's EXT framework as well as YUI and a bunch of third party packages.
One section is a Landing Page editor. It launches in a totally seperate
window as the main app. One feature is that part of the page has a
"template" which is base HTML that the customers provide. So one CSS file
that I work with is used for both windows. So I cant use HTML alone because
it's not specific enough.
So the problem arose when the customer had styling on the "body". Their CSS
was coming first (for other reasons) so it was getting overwritten by Jack
Slocums class which was on the body. We need his body stuff for the main
app, but not the editor window. I was trying to figure out how to
differentiate BODY tags between the app and the Editor windows. I thought,
maybe I could put a class on HTM. I wish there was a way in CSS to say
div.foo *AND* div.bar {color:red}
The comma acts like an OR statement. Why isn't there an AND statement?
Anyway, I ended up using an EXT line in the JS to remove the offending rule.
It's a little complicated, but I hope this helps clarify.
One question. Two answers here: It is Valid and it is NOT valid. Which is
the truth? It seems unorthadox to put an ID on an HTML tag, but I don't see
why it should be avoided if needed. (in rare circumstances)
Thanks for the help.
