    May a Tag have Two Classes?

    I recently got a warning from the WDG HTML Validator at
    http://www.htmlhelp.com/ for assigning two classes as shown for
    http://www.journeys.ws/books.asp :

    Line 71, character 23:

    <p class="menu" class="nw">

    Error: duplicate specification of attribute CLASS

    I Googled but can't find anything on it. Is there a way to assign two
    classes so the page will validate (yes, I know there are other errors and
    I'm working on them)?

    TIA

      Yes. Multiple classes are space separated e.g. <p class="menu nw">

      Neither class will be applied by Netscape 4, but both will be applied
      by IE5 (maybe IE4) and more modern browsers.

          IE4 doesn't support multiple classes.

          Replace ".invalid" with ".uk" to reply by e-mail.

              There we are then. Another benefit to using multiple classes - it
              hides our CSS from IE4 as well as from NN4. Good stuff.

                  You don't even need multiple classes: just write
                  <p class="mystyle mystyle">
