Adam's Awesome Anecdotes

Well, I was going to have a beautiful post, including code examples, of a CSS issue I encountered today and how I got around it, but apparently the support for posting code on tumblr is quite lacking.  I guess I need to sit down for a night and play with some updated CSS for my current theme maybe, but in the meantime, a very abbreviated version of what I wanted to so say is the following…

Mainly as a reminder to myself… if I use an ID attribute on an outer CSS element and apply a style to, say, all DIVs, that rule will supersede any class level selector (even if the element occurs inside the outer div) unless I explicitly define the CSS rule starting with the ID selector followed by the class selector.

So, for example, instead of just ‘.row’ (which is contained in a DIV with an ID of ‘outer’), I should use ‘#outer .div’ as my selector.
