New d'oh!
I didn't even *think* of doing it that way.

I had it set up as

h1 {
font: somefont;
color: #000000;
background: #FFFFFF;
a:link { color: ugly };
}

And the browsers would ignore it outright.

But you're saying I can have the h1 style, and then add another style called "h1 a:link", and the a:link style will inherit everything from the other?

New Uh-huh. Next chapter: selectors.
[link|http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html|http://www.w3.org/TR...SS2/selector.html]

You know you're going to read the whole document anyway...might as well start now. :)

Selection is done completely *before* the parameter block {}.

h1 a:link {} means "apply {} to all a:link's which are children of an h1 element".

New W3C needs tech writers, badly
The specification, while it has all the information, is almost impossible to comprehend. For me, anyway. But I'm trying. :)

Actually, the spec is what made me give up and try and get started using Dreamweaver's tools in the first place, LOL.

New How odd.
I was just saying to myself after I posted that link what a joy it was to have such a readable, succinct, yet complete technical document. Really, I was. Hafta think about that one...
