Invalid CSS properties?

 * "Although most CSS properties can be used in the  tag, some only work in the   element"

I am not aware of any CSS properties which can't be applied to all elements (except that I don't guess you could position the body...). --Jesdisciple (talk) 10:36, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Well, last time I tried using the overflow property in a span tag and it didn't do anything but when I used the div tag, it worked fine. I tried it on the Scroll box template. 18:39, June 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * I hadn't read the CSS specification before, and that was the problem.    Each property is specified as applying to certain elements, although the meanings of several important terms used to identify the relevant elements are very complex and involve the Box Model (something I don't fully understand yet - I hope we can attract an expert on it). --Jesdisciple (talk) 12:28, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
