myspace css

[pneudralics]

I've noticed that myspace css has a lot of css like this:
table table {whatever;}
table table table table{whatever;}

Does that just mean that it's modifying the table within the table within the table etc? I thought all css id's had to begin with a . or a #?

Thanks for the help.

Yep.

The best theory I have heard about the success of MySpace is that it's both stupid and not secure. 😉

Grief; I just had a look at that CSS. Stuff like

/ Background /
.bgWhite{background:#FFF;}
.bgBlue{background:#039;}
.bgLtBlue{background:#D5E8FB;}
.bgDkBlue{background:#040C5C;}
.bgNavBlue{background:#6698CB;}
.bgGrey{background:#E5E5E5;}
.bgDkGrey{background:#666;}
.bgRed{background:#C00;}
.bgPeach{background:#FC9;}
.bgPurple{background:#96C;}
.bgGreen{background:#090;}
.bgOrange{background:#F60;} / Alternative #FF9800 /
.bgBlack{background:#000;}

and

/ Widths /
.w25{width:25px;}
.w50{width:50px;}
.w75{width:75px;}
.w100{width:100px;}
.w125{width:125px;}
.w150{width:150px;}
.w175{width:175px;}
.w200{width:200px;}
.w225{width:225px;}
.w250{width:250px;}
.w275{width:275px;}
.w300{width:300px;}
.w325{width:325px;}
.w350{width:350px;}
.w375{width:375px;}
.w400{width:400px;}
.w49{width:49%;}
.w40{width:40%;}

This deserves submission

yeah, what they've done is subdivide each myspace page into a dozen or so sections, and then given each one a color code beginning with bg and a color name and a size beginning with w and a number.

Some of the worse code to try and decipher I've ever seen.

So this myspace code:

table table table {
  border: 2px solid; border-color:E5E5E5; background-color: 567966; padding: 0;}

Should target this:

<table>
<tr>
<td>
<table style="width:100%;" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="8">
<tr>
<td style="width:45%;vertical-align:top;">

<table>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align:top;text-align:center;font-size:8pt;">

	{%USER%}
</td>
<td style="vertical-align:top;font-size:9pt;">

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align:top;font-size:8pt;text-align:center;">

	{%IMAGE%}	

</td>
<td style="vertical-align:top;font-size:9pt;">
	{%user%}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Can't seem to get myspace codes to work with my template. What am I doing wrong? There are three <table>, but nothing shows up when I try displaying the myspace code.
