[thelist] A (simple?) HTML question...

[Joost van Velzen]

Hi Kipper,

Why do you need that class in "<a href="url" class="HL2">heading</a> "
sure, now you can 
".HL2 { css stuff }"
but why not use
"h2 a { css stuff }"

I prefer to write the h2 a version, because this saves you adding 
classes to every single a withing an h2.

Just my 2 cents ;-)

Cheers!

Joost
