81 ">" character in selector

I’m a CSS newbie and I’m confused by the example’s use of the “>” character in the html>body selector. When I check that CSS code through Web Design Group’s [url=“http://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/csscheck.cgi”]CSSCheck[/url], I get this error:

[blockquote]Selectors may contain only the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, Unicode 161-255, hyphens, or escaped Unicode characters as numeric codes.[/blockquote]

82 CSS2 Selectors

Katie, The checker you used probably works with only CSS1 selectors. Compare CSS1 selectors at <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1#contextual-selectors> with CSS2 selectors at <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html>. You might also find this page useful: <http://gallery.theopalgroup.com/selectoracle>. It translates CSS selectors into plain English (or Spanish). Amarnath

86 Netscape 4.5

An excellent article that was exactly what I was looking for. Very useful and simple to implement.

My only bitch would be Netscape 4.5 on the PC, it can’t read it at all!

88 Netscape as a corporate bitch

I advice all developers to keep their site’s support for Netscape 4.x at functionality level. E.g. you design may crash, but all functions will be accessible. That’s how were do now in our studio

89 Nested lists

Hi

I’m following on in what I think is the spirit of the articles in using lists for nested navigation.

How do the panel suggest I deal with navigation nested more than one level deep? ie:

- Section 1 – section 1: subsection a – section 1: subsection b – section 1: subsection c – Section 2 – section 2: subsection a
…etc

Assuming that the sections should be in list format, I tried the following and would appreciate thoughts, comments and feedback…

Validation chokes on this:
<ul>
<li><h2>Main Administration</h2></li>
<ul>
<li>[url=“about:blank” target=”_blank”]Summary Page[/url]</li>
<li>[url=“about:blank” target=”_blank”]Change Main Password[/url]</li>
<li>[url=“about:blank” target=”_blank”]Change MySQL Password[/url]</li>
<li>[url=“about:blank” target=”_blank”]Log Out[/url]</li>
</ul>
</ul>

because the nested UL is not contained within an LI tag.

However this validating code:

<ul>
<li><h2>Main Administration</h2></li>
<li><ul>
<li>[url=“about:blank” target=”_blank”]Summary Page[/url]</li>
<li>[url=“about:blank” target=”_blank”]Change Main Password[/url]</li>
<li>[url=“about:blank” target=”_blank”]Change MySQL Password[/url]</li>
<li>[url=“about:blank” target=”_blank”]Log Out[/url]</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>

does not look right (when unstyled) with the floating bullet above the first list.
