10/27   Is there any search engine that lets you search for symbols?
        I am trying to figure out what the significance of # starting a
        line in a CSS file is and no search engine i know will do anything
        but ignore a '#'
        \_ look at the instructions.  Maybe you can use quotes.
                "#"
        \_ why not just check the CSS spec on http://w3.org?  Or ask?  #foo in a
           cascading style sheet refers to the element with the unique ID "foo"
        \_ sorry I'm late punkass.  when you start something with "." it refers
           to a class you defined, like something you use with "class='foo'".
           When you start with # it's an "id"- a uniquely named block.  Just
           use it once, using "id='foo'".  I use this to float layers.
           look at the examples at   http://csszengarden.com    -brain
           \_ Also, if you use neither, it refers to a predefined HTML tag.
                HTML                    CSS
                <div class="h2">        .h2 { }
                <div id="h2">           #h2 { }
                <h2>                    h2 { }

4/8     What's a good free e-mail provider? I don't want to use Gmail,
        Yahoo, Outlook, or any of those sites with features I never use that
        track my personal info and keep changing their interface. I want just
        simple e-mail without privacy issues or all the baggage these large,
        for-profit companies are adding. I might even be willing to pay.
        Recommendations?

Download the sample html file and css file The Road to Enlightenment Littering a dark and dreary road lay the past relics of browser-specific tags, incompatible DOM s, and broken CSS support. Web enlightenment has been achieved thanks to the tireless efforts of folk like the W3C , WaSP and the major browser creators. The css Zen Garden invites you to relax and meditate on the important lessons of the masters. Learn to use the yet to be time-honored techniques in new and invigorating fashion. There is clearly a need for CSS to be taken seriously by graphic artists. The Zen Garden aims to excite, inspire, and encourage participation. Clicking on any one will load the style sheet into this very page. CSS allows complete and total control over the style of a hypertext document. The only way this can be illustrated in a way that gets people excited is by demonstrating what it can truly be, once the reins are placed in the hands of those able to create beauty from structure. To date, most examples of neat tricks and hacks have been demonstrated by structurists and coders. You are modifying this page, so strong CSS skills are necessary, but the example files are commented well enough that even CSS novices can use them as starting points. Please see the CSS Resource Guide for advanced tutorials and tips on working with CSS . You may modify the style sheet in any way you wish, but not the HTML . This may seem daunting at first if youve never worked this way before, but follow the listed links to learn more, and use the sample files as a guide. Download the sample html file and css file to work on a copy locally. The css Zen Garden is about functional, practical CSS and not the latest bleeding-edge tricks viewable by 2 of the browsing public. Unfortunately, designing this way highlights the flaws in the various implementations of CSS . Different browsers display differently, even completely valid CSS at times, and this becomes maddening when a fix for one leads to breakage in another. View the Resources page for information on some of the fixes available. Full browser compliance is still sometimes a pipe dream, and we do not expect you to come up with pixel-perfect code across every platform. If your design doesnt work in at least IE5/Win and Mozilla run by over 90 of the population, chances are we wont accept it.
