Welcome to IWETHEY!

New More a question of what to avoid
You can, of course, use any convention you like. But too many times I've seen style namespaces which tend to follow the values of the first style sheet, instead of concentrating on the actual content ..erm.. context.

What I mean is, if you have a header box on a page that, in your first iteration, happens to be big and red, for heaven's sake don't go naming the element style "bigandredbox"--that defeats the purpose of separating content and style. Name it "mainheader" or something. That way, when They decide it should be blue, you don't have a conundrum of naming illogic. It's a maintainability thing.

Many fears are born of stupidity and ignorance -
Which you should be feeding with rumour and generalisation.

New We just went through that here
Our web "expert" wanted to use style names like "ArialTenPointBold" because that's the way he found to do it on Microsoft's web site.

It took me a while to convince him that this was a REALLY, REALLY STUPID naming convention, exactly for the reason you cite.

But I succeeded.

Brian BronsonAsking the rhetorical question: why are M$ sycophants so f*$%$#g dumb?
New why?
Because that's the way Microsoft wants them. That makes it easier to train them, and retrain them, and ...
Have fun,

New Thanks. M$ drones' reactions remind me of "Telefon"
The Charles Bronson movie about Russian brainwashed suicide spies: [link|http://us.imdb.com/Title?0076804|IMDB link]

Maybe M$ literature includes this brainwashing. Then, when certain M$ key words and phrases are uttered, their brain switches off and otherwise normal people spout meaningless M$ crapola.

Or maybe Bill Gates has a reality distortion field that puts Steve Jobs' to shame!

I invited her up to my place for a little midnight bait. I said, "Come on, baby. It'll only take a few minnows." She threw me that same old line: "Not tonight, I've got a haddock."
