Stacking CSS Classes

Stop me if you’ve already heard this one, but you can simplify your CSS stylesheets by using multiple CSS classes on a single element. I only learned about this handy feature a year ago, so I’m assuming that some of you may have missed it as well. Allow me to demonstrate by way of example.

Hmmm... Very cool. I can already see changing the code on my site. Darn you, now I won't sleep tonight!

Deane informs me that he once sent me this tip in an email, with examples and everything, and I wrote him back and told him that it was a "confusing and useless" feature. Outlook search claims it never happened, but I'll go ahead and publicly admit my egregious mistake and say that I was 100% wrong about that.

I bet if you look through this site long enough, you'll find some stacked classes somewhere. I've been using this for months now.

I saw this a while back but forgot all about it. This is awesome, thanks for the refresher!

Hi. I tried this method on a div, rather than a class. But it doesn't seem to be working. Does it work for Divs?

So do you always have to use a hyphen to declare step or child classes.
