Topic: Is this right way using CSS? (Page 4 of 4)

Hiroki: you might want to subscribe to a mail list that is dedicated to css. You can sign up for one I think might be helpful here. This link also links to a sign-up form for a more advanced css mail list, but you might want to start with the foundations one. Reading the entire w3c spec would be awfully difficult, and I don't know how productive it would be. It's meant as a reference, not something the average web designer reads from top to bottom. A mail list can provide a lot of practical information I have found.

Hi, Steve. How are you? It has been so beautiful autumn days here in New Zealand.
Thanks for your help, Steve. I will have a look that site.
Yesterday, I printed out CSS2 specification but it was absolutely heaps. Anyway good to have those, I reckon.
Thanks a lot.

Oh, my good!
I cannot do this silly thing.
I am trying to move caption a wee bit higher.
My css code is:

quote:

---

caption { margin: 5px;}

---

But it didn't work at all. Why????
Please help me.

Hi, again. I just wonder....
Well, now I am reading CSS2 specification from w3c site.
A lot of CSS2 seems not to be supported by the browser, right?
Now I am looking at here: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_reference.asp .
It shows that which CSS is supported by Which browser, right?
So I just wanted to ask you following:

Is Studying CSS2 practical for future when new browser supports CSS2 but still usuful to know them as some of CSS2 is already supported by browser well?

Am I right?

Steve, anyway I am picking up some info from CSS2 specification. I reckon it is worth reading.
Looking forward to hearing from you, guys.

Cya.

Learning CSS2 will indeed be usefull in the future but for now it's not a good practice becuse, like you said, some web browsers don't support it (namely IE6, which is the most widely used web browser).

As for trying to get an element an extra pixel or so higher, you could try setting negative values for the element margins. Something like: #myId {margin-top: -10px;} Will usually force an absolutly position element to sit 10 pixels higher than it's top:xxxx value, for an in-line non-block level element, it'll fold 10px back up the page, but be warned, it might cause some ugly overlapping and bizzare display problems. Sometimes the z-index values will let you control how things overlap, sometimes they won't, it's buggy in some browsers. Furthermore, when you set negative margins for in-line elements, it drags all of the preceding in-line elements (any element that appears after the one you set the negative margin rule for) with it.

As always, the best way to figure things out is just to play around and experiment with different.

When it comes to learning CSS, it's better to learn what works and what doesn't. Most browsers support many things from CSS2, just not everything.

A good tool is WestCiv.com's CSS Browser Support Reference.
