Definition Lists – Who Knew?

Wow. Who knew there was such a thing as definition lists? I certainly should have, but didn’t. Shame on me!

In other news, I’m giving TopStyle Pro a whirl. It’s written by Nick Bradbury, the author of the original Homesite (pre-Allaire, pre-Macromedia). It feels almost like home!

CSS Layout Techniques is a beautiful list of layouts and how to accomplish using CSS vs. tables. Yowzah. This, along with a much needed redesign, is going to be my next big web project.

This is REALLY clever and neat use of border-left in menus. Swiped from milov.nl:

ul.menu li a
{ padding-left: 10px; }
ul.menu li a:hover
{ border-left: 5px solid orange;
padding-left: 5px; }
ul.links li a
{ padding-left: 0px; }
