Apparently I’m a Canadian
According to a survey put together by Michael Adams, author of "Fire & Ice: The US, Canada and the Myth of Converging Values" [via Dave Pollard], my values are very similar to those of many Canadians and a long way from typical American values. Although I recognise the results as being related to what I believe, I'm surprised at such an extreme ranking and wonder what the result would be if the survey was calibrated for UK and Europe.

Advanced CSS Ornamentation
Literary Moose writes: 'This article is focused on techniques exploring the potential for web page decoration. To this end, I advocate the widespread use of generated content � in my opinion the strongest and most precise tool for controlling the display where the accessible, semantic, and pure markup leaves little room for maneuverability. The most advanced techniques rely on the browser's ability to apply generated content in the form of pseudo-elements, then to apply generated content for an arbitrary element, and finally to control its flow and positioning.'

Selectors are one of the most important aspects of CSS as they are used to "select" elements on an HTML page so that they can be styled.
Find out more about selectors including the structure of rules, the document tree, types of selectors and their uses. There is also a step-by-step tutorial showing how selectors are used in the process of building a 3-column layout.
