Stupid CSS Bugs

[Doug E]

Another CSS question: If I use CSS to set a border around an image of say, 2px, do I still need to put border="0" in the line where I set the image width, height, etc? Seems pointless but I saw it done that way on someone's site.

No, css already defines the border so theres no need for the border tag.

You'll find every html tag or property or whatever can be replaced with css and theres much more you can do with css so its worth learning which ones replace which.

For me it was hard to get used to dropping cellspacing and padding and replacing it with css padding and margins. Took a bit to wrap my mind around it. But once I got onto it its been sweet.

And I highly recommend HTML 4.01 Strict over Transitional as with strict your pages will look exactly the same in both FF and IE with one or two minor tweaks declared for the body and or all tables and td's of the page including...

text-align: center;
margin: 0px;
border-collapse: collapse;
vertical-align: top;

and i think...

line-height: 0px;

...but im just learning to play with that one.
