can u do this? (sub-classes)

[Frances Del Rio]

I've been wondering for a while whether you can do this...

let's say I define a class thus:

..myClass {font-family:verdana, sans-serif; font-size:11px; color:#006699;
text-decoration:unde rline}

then I want to define a SUB-CLASS of this one.. i.e., I want to define a
new class just like this one but w/only one attr set differently, and I
don't want to repeat all attr's.. so how do I say

..subclass-of-above-class {color:#990000}

so this new sub-class of myClass has all attr's of above class except
for diff. font color..

can u do this? thank you...... Frances

You should have used that time to do a little research. There is a
similar thread <news:qgeca1tqt vjtl8c0ss7h6p5p 12lj0irfmj@4ax. com> that
started less than two full days before yours (and many more before).

It is a message ID. Either use it to search through the messages stored
in your news reader, or strip off '<news:' and '>', and enter it into
the Google Groups search box.

This page recommends assigning two classes to an element, but I
thought not all major browsers support that?

Internet Explorer is buggy when including two class selectors in a style
(i.e. div.classA.clas sB), but other then that I'm not aware of any support
problems.

Indeed, Netscape Navigator 4 does not. (IIRC it handles the first class
name of an attribute value just fine, though.) Anyhow, that is not a
major browser, but a lieutenant commander one (Navy, y'know). So don't
worry about it.

If it's not a major, wouldn't it be a subaltern? :-)
