It was then asked if browsers really supported it. I found a page which to my careless reading implied IE couldn't, then found another which indicated it could, and decided to test it. The test shows that IE, to some degree, follows the CSS standard for matching an individual word in a space-delimited list of class attributes. It also tests some minimal hierarchical capabilities of selectors. My suspicion is that if IE5 and above can't handle this relatively simple level of selectors properly, then all the other CSS-compliance issues would fade into insignificance, because what's the point of being able to specify (for example) the size of a box if you can't even trigger the rule? I haven't been following the parent thread, so I don't know to what use this is meant to be used, nor do I much care, although I have thought before that setting multiple class values on elements would make conversion of the DocBook stylesheets from HTML-based presentation to CSS-based much easier. -- John R.
