With the recent discussion of CSS style rules and quirks, I thought I’d mention one of my favorite CSS features that I’ve been making a lot of use of recently: multiple class selectors.
This is one CSS2 addition that isn’t mentioned much in CSS books (at least that I’ve seen), although most recent browsers do support it - all the “good” ones and IE, too. :)
