> (the other character, \0022, is a space)
Should be \0020. \0022 is the quotation mark.

3 Quite marvelous

I will probably use this article as a reference when I talk about “advanced styles” in my XHTML class.
Although I’m not going to and re-author all my breadcrumbs in my existing pages.

4 Exactly what I was wondering

Perfect! I was just wrestling with how to handle a list of links yesterday! Not only does this answer every question for my personal site, it solves a thorny issue for a menu on a site for my job. Thanks so much.

I’m just saying somthing… this was okay. it’s not like you need a big long article about it, but, it’s cool. I’ll probably end up using something in here sometime or another. Thanks ALA

8 Mozilla rendering

Can anyone explain why Mozilla (v.1.2a) only shows every other horizontal line in the real world example? Dump here: [img]http://tippetevling.net/ala/realworld.png[/img]

9 :first-child / :last-child

One thing I think this article lacked was a reference when using the class=“first” and class=“last” examples for specifically styling the first and last elements of lists. Instead of having to embed this in your HTML with an ugly class, you can use the CSS2 and CSS 3 selectors :first-child and :last-child respectively.

Hence li.first becomes li:first-child (li element which is the first child of its parent element), and li.last becomes (li element which is the last child of its parent element). As far as I’m aware, it’s only supported in Mozilla at the moment, but if you’re talking about examples which only work in Mozilla and Opera, you might as well include those examples too.

Apart from that, a great article Mark!

10 Oops

Oops, that should have read “li.last becomes li:last-child” yada yada.
