multiple classes for one element

How do I use multiple classes for one element? Vinnie answered this question 2 months ago but I can't find the thread.

something like this?

<p class="class1 class2 class3">this is some text</p>

Dave's right

I didn't ask the question correctly.

.aclass {
color: #660000;
}
.bclass {
font: small Arial, san-serif;
}
</style>
<body>
<p class="aclass, bclass">Vinnie speaks clearly</p>
</body>

Trouble is, my syntax is off. Lead me to Vinnies previous reply and I won't lose the printed copy, this time. The reply included parameters. Thanks.

Don't separate the class names with commas. You're only supposed to put a space between each class name. Your paragraph should look more like this:

HTML Code:

<p class="aclass bclass">Vinnie speaks clearly</p>

Netscape 4 will ignore them, and IE5/Mac has some trouble with them as well, but since neither browser is under active development it will continue to be a diminishing issue over time.

Ahhh! Works well in IE5, thank you again.
