Ten CSS tricks you may not know

CSS font shorthand rule When styling fonts with CSS you may be doing this: font-size: 1em;line-height: 1.5em;font-weight: bold;font-style: italic;font-variant: small-caps;font-family: verdana,serif; There's no need though as you can use this CSS shorthand property: font: 1em/1.5em bold italic small-caps verdana,serif Much better! 2. Usually attributes are assigned just one class, but this doesn't mean that that's all you're allowed. <p class="text side">... Using these two classes together (separated by a space, not with a comma) means that the paragraph calls up the rules assigned to both text and side. 3. When writing a border rule you'll usually specify the colour, width and style (in any order). If you were to write just border: solid then the defaults for that border will be used. 4. !

Keywords are a perfectly fine way to size fonts on the web. However, keywords don't offer very fine-grained control of your typography, as the choices are fairly limited. px If you need fine-grained control, sizing fonts in pixel values (px) is an excellent choice (it's my favorite). Windows, Mac, aliased, anti-aliased, cross-browsers, doesn't matter, a font set at 14px will be 14px tall.
