Author Shorthand and non-shorthand combined valid?
Coen Naninck

2004-04-21, 2:36 pm


I have two questions:

1) Hi, is this valid?:

#Foo {
border: 1px solid #93AA9B;
border-left: 1px solid #93AA9B;
}

In other words, i'm using the shorthand but define that only my
leftborder should differ from it.

2) Is this also part of the Cascade in that border-left property
(validly) overrides the shorthand?


T.i.a.

The only thing I'd add are the following two points (figuring, clarity
usually helps in forums):

1) The subject line mentions shorthand vs. non-shorthand. The rule provided
....

#Foo {
border: 1px solid #93AA9B;
border-left: 1px solid #93AA9B;
}

.... contains two shorthand properties. Non-shorthand -- let's call this
longhand -- would actually be ...


#Foo {
border: 1px solid #93AA9B;
border-left-width: 1px;
border-left-style: solid;
border-left-color: #93AA9B;
}

.... and you can indeed use short- and longhand notation in the same
document.

2) The only thing to look out for is the *order* of these properties.
Naturally, if the rule looked like this ...

#Foo {
border-left: 1px solid #93AA9B;
border: 1px solid #93AA9B;
}

.... border-left would be "overwritten" by border.

Which in this case would make no difference since they are both the same! 8)

Well, yes. In my own quick testing, I noticed that and made one of them
red. Without that change, it was kind of like ...
