CSS3 List and Table Properties - 15

The Discussion

• 

  Great series so far

  With the tables, you could have demonstrated the first column and first row highlighting using

  tr td:first-child

  tr:first-of-type

   

  Then you wouldn't have needed the IDs to attach the styles.

  I downloaded the HQ WMV file. The soundtrack and screenshot were "out-of-sync" by I guess half a minute or so.  The windows on screen had very little to do with what Bob describes.

  Otherwise a great series! I did a lot of Dynamic HTML 4 back in '98 - '01 so I really enjoyed this semantics focused run through HTML5 and CSS3 -- THX!

  One of your examples shows a CSS style border-collapse:seperate;

  There is a typo in here. It should be spelled border-collapse:separate;

  The net result is the same since border-collapse:separate is the default and the misspelled value seperate will fall back to the default value separate.

  @slaneyrw: thank you.  Yes, there are many ways to skin this cat.  Thank you for adding that one!

  @MicKr: Sorry for that issue ... I'll call attention to the powers-that-be at Microsoft to see if others experience the same difficulty.

  @candritzky: Thank you ... that is a common misspelling ... I even have a macro on my main computer that re-spells it correctly.  Muscle memory defaulted to my typical (incorrect) spelling.  Thank you for explaining what happens when you misspell a value (i.e., the default).
