Hi
If I in a <b class="blabla"> want to define a style too, which is identical to blabla *{} in the stylesheet-file, how would I have to do it?

[PaulKolin]

Urm, what

[froomzer]

PaulKolin: y'know, like you can use this: <b class="blabla" style"background: #FF0000;"> but that defines background for the class "blabla". What I want to is with the style="" part to define the background of what in a normal stylesheet would be called ' blabla * {background: #FF0000;} '
How would I do that?

[PaulKolin]

B.blabla {}

[froomzer]

Aha, thanks:)

[PaulKolin]

Basic basic selectors.

[froomzer]

Ok
PaulKolin, so, like <b class="blabla" style="b.backgroundcolor: #FF0000;"> ? Hm. something looks wrong there.

[PaulKolin]

Ug. not at all

[froomzer]

That's what I thought.

Read that
All

Thanks again.
Can I combine class and style in a <b>?
The style has to adjust properties of the b.classname property.
I can only make it work for 'classname' and not 'b.classname'
Selectutorial doesn't say anything about it as far as I can see... I have to do it in the <b>, and not the stylesheet.css
Cause it's in a php-function

[Poolkop]

What difference does that make?

[froomzer]

Cause I use inline php to change the property according to a _GET variable
Like this (for example) : <b class="box2" <?php if ($lang == "en") { echo "style=\"background:#FF0000;\""; } ?> >
Hm. I'm stuck with this.

[Poolkop]

Why can't you add another class?
Or manipulate the class name
B class="box2 lang"> for example

[froomzer]

Will lang overwrite existing properties of box2 then?

[Poolkop]

It could

[froomzer]

If background is defined in box2 and in lang, and it's invoked with b class="box2 lang", will lang be dominant?

[Poolkop]

B.box2 { /* defaults */ } b.lang { /* subsequent, therefore, overwrites equal or lower specificity elements */ }
Depends on your css

[froomzer]

Great

[Poolkop]

This would give you lots of flexibility if you actually used the value of lang as your class too

[froomzer]

In what way?

[Poolkop]

B.en { } b.fr {} b.es {}

[froomzer]

But another thing that confuses me is; is e.g. b.lang {} the same and equally valid as lang * {}

[Poolkop]

.lang * {}
If you had a class "lang" applied to some high level element like html or body

[froomzer]

Ok
