[WEB4LIB] Re: Can an element have two class attributes?

[Jeph Remley]

I seem to have lost the original msg on this thread - sorry.

Yes, you can do the following:

<div class="reason1 reason2">Text to be hidden or displayed</div>

Just put a space between the two class names.  I've always done this 
where they were complementary to each other and I KNEW what I wanted 
from each would work well together.  (like <div class="rowOdd newEntry"> 
if I remember correctly?)  I've never set up ones that would conflict, 
so I'm not sure who would win out...I would guess the latter of the two 
based on the CASCADING aspect of CSS, but I don't know.
