Hi, Liorean,
Actually you have some freedom about how you want to arrange selector
components. As long as the tag is first, and the psuedo-element is last,
everything else can be arranged however you like -- class first, id first,
pseudo-class first, whatever. The 2.0 specs are pretty clear on this, and
in testing this out on PC IE 5.x and Moz the following selectors all work:
a:link.class#id
a.class#id:link
a#id:link.class
The main limitation is that pseudo-elements must always be last; the
following wouldn't work:
p:first-line.class
Since you can't have a class on an element that doesn't actually exist...
Anyways, this can help each person choose the methodology that makes sense
to them.
HTH,
MikeL
