CSS Blunder

Leave a response | Trackback |
Tags: css, css rules

I’ve been using CSS ever since I have started using WordPress, right now, I can say that I am quite confident in my CSS coding skills (or whatever you want to call it). But sometimes, I tend to forget some «rules».

Last, last week, I was so frustrated with work because I thought that Firefox was not listening to my CSS, I mean, I already stated the rule very explicitly, the properties are not misspelled and still, the CSS rules are not implemented in any browser I was using which I thought is odd. Until I noticed that the class name I gave to the element I was styling was (or similar) “1morething” (I’m not very good with names ok?).

Of course it will not be implemented because class names (and IDs) are not supposed to have a number as its first digit, DUH! There I was, already wanting to throw the mac away because of sheer frustration and all I had wrong was that digit. I changed the name and ta-da! The style was implemented. What CSS blunder have you encountered lately that had you so frustrated?
