12/14/2005 Entry: "CSS"

I spent the day (night, technically) teaching myself CSS. I practiced by mostly recreating the TRS page using it. It was a lot faster. I stopped part way through, however, because I got rather pissed while re-creating the menu bar on the left. The problem is that fucking CSS doesn't anti-alias it's text so it looked like crap. The entire idea behind learning CSS for me was to I could recreate that left bar dynamically and update in without graphic editing. However, If I have to use graphics anyway to get the damn text to look right what's the point? Sigh... atleast I don't need to use tables anymore...

I here if I use vector based fonts instead of bitmap based fonts that will help. I'm not sure what kind of font I currently am using though, nor do I know the difference. One more thing to learn. I'll be starting from scratch soon creating Heyisthatguypeeing.com using my new CSS skills and the my usual photoshop wierdology. PlasticPenis will be moving there when I get it done. This layout will soon be replaced for a slightly more ... uh... no, that's bullshit. You won't be able to view the new page in polite company any more than you could this one. Sorry. But it'll be something new. I've had this design for ALONG time. I need to move away from Chegg anyway so this is a good excuse.

A few questions for you web designers out there:
Are class selectors and ID selectors pretty much interchangable?

For instance p.wanker and p#wanker pretty much are just [p class=wanker] and [p id=wanker] so why use one over the other?

Also, if I'm using "position: relative" to position two divs inside a parent div do I need to use the float attribute? It doesn't appear so to me, so why does it even exist?

A few questions for you web designers out there:
Are class selectors and ID selectors pretty much interchangable?

Yes, but you can only assign an id to one element on a page, but you can assign a class to as many as you want.

For instance p.wanker and p#wanker pretty much are just [p class=wanker] and [p id=wanker] so why use one over the other?

One word, javascript. The getElementById function would be totally hosed if you tried assigning more than one p your wanker id.

Also, if I'm using "position: relative" to position two divs inside a parent div do I need to use the float attribute? It doesn't appear so to me, so why does it even exist?

Floating and clearing sucks, mainly because IE sucks. But it's useful if you want to have dynamically sized divs float around each other. Sounds like you are using fixed size divs and top and left to position them, so there's no reason to use float.
