If you don't have it you could get the 30 day demo and create the document for your future hand coding reference. eventually you'll just remember the order (there is something logical about it but I can't say what, it just makes sense... eventually). remember this also, good code isn't always the most condensed, it terms of readabilty for further and future development of a site then the long format is better in that sense. The more you combine classes' and ids' propeties and condence stuff up the more complicated and harder to change the code becomes, but it does look cool to others and make you feel elite. Choice is yours, and in different situations you'll choose differently - nothing wrong with that. Loading...
