subclassed css elements

[dfloss]

Is it possible to subclass a css element, then modify it?

For example, given this definition:

TABLE.bordered {border-left: 1px solid; border-top: 1px solid;
border-bottom: 1px solid; border-right: 1px solid; border-color: #000}

....can you create a style based on it using shorthand (which in this
case would have no top border)?

..bordered2.bordered {border-top: none}

No. Since CSS has neither classes, nor elements. (It has class
selectors that can match elements).

I think http://dorward.me.uk/www/css/inheritance/ will cover what you
want.

Yes

.bordered2.bordered {border-top: none}

Those are both useful links.

Thanks

I learned more from the first page, but went with TABLE.style2. It
seemed more elegant.
