[thelist] Rules for CSS Style Names

[Matt]

As far as I know it should be ok, as long as you use ONLY underscores ( _ ) . I
might have misunderstood, but the way I understand it is that when underscores
and hyphens (-) are used in styles at the same time certain browsers have
difficulty distinguishing them. Sounds kooky, but thats what I heard.
