Assigning properties between CSS elements

[Barq]

Hi,

Is it possible in css to assign properties of one element to other?

for example:


.element_1{
width:100%;
color:#FF0000;
}


.element_2{
font-family: Verdana;
}

Is it possible to assign element_1 to element_2 so that element_1 will be a reference?

Thanks

Hi,

If you mean can you do something like this:

.element_2{
width:element1.width;
}

Then no its not possible. You may be able to do something similar using ie expressions but it will only work for ie.

Do you want the element_1 properties assigned to element_2? As well as the font-family property? If so you can just do:

.element_1, .element_2 {
    width:100%;
    color:#FF0000;
}

.element_2 {
    font-family: Verdana;
}

This is equivalent to:

.element_1 {
    width:100%;
    color:#FF0000;
}

.element_2 {
    width:100%;
    color:#FF0000;
    font-family: Verdana;
}

so you are effectively just copying the element_1 attributes to element_2, without having to put all the extra code in.
