offtopic later edit: put some margin after paragraphs in comments, pls

Done. For no reason, when i wrote this theme, the whole comment was in its own paragraph (you can see the problem “at work” on my other blog). That’s why was that problem

but, anyways, everyone has to have his own code formating

Indeed! No one will change his style after few years, right? I had a friend who code like you do and i had to do some changes on his code. Useless to say that was a nightmare

huh? line breaks and spaces does count as size, so my variant is smaller (way smaller) and if it�s written by a simple rule:

I was saying about this :

#selector #selector2 #selector3 #selector4 { the real code }

instead of :

#selector .class { the code }

selector { width; height; positioning; margin; padding; background; color; font; others; }

and in true cascade (footer after content and header) is still very readable.

PS: needless to say about scrolling through code… and visual searching but, anyways, everyone has to have his own code formating (or, maybe auto-formating in dreamweaver)

Indeed. But very large file will have more KB this way So… between readability and small size with well commented code, i pick second

#header #navigation #text { all the propreties inline; } rullz in CSS!

why? because very large CSS files are more readable like that

I format my xhtml / html / php / java / c++ / and all other types of code exactley like you, meaning, one tab for each child. I never indent my css the way you do, i have do admit, it’s preatty easy to read, maby ill try that some day.
