CSS Specificity - Which CSS Rule to apply?

Feb 16, 2015 By Webtraffic Exchange Development 0 Last Modified on 2024-01-16

Each CSS selector has a specificity value and the more specific the selector is the higher precedence it has. If multiple selectors apply to a single element, the highest specificity CSS rule applies to the element. Have you had an experience where you define a CSS rule for an element, and it doesn't work? You probably have a CSS rule that has a higher specificity value which causes your newly created CSS rule to not apply.

ZF2: ZF1 like URL Routing

ZF2 introduces a new routing for the framework which is similar to ZF1 but has slightly different semantics. The skeleton application ships with a default Application level router which takes a matching controller/action to /application/controller/action URI. If you wish to keep it backward compatible with the ZF1 type of matching, you may want to make the following changes to the module/Application/config/module.config.php file as below:

How to configure Eclipse to use spaces instead of tabs?

Jan 16, 2015 By Webtraffic Exchange Development 0 Last Modified on 2024-01-16

When writing maintainable code, indentation plays an important role. This may be one reason Python requires proper indentation as the programming syntax. A traditional tab indents 8 spaces, and we all know 8 spaces are just too much for coding indentation. We all opt to use 4 spaces for programming indentation, but how do you accomplish this? We can configure a TAB to indent only 4 whitespaces, or use 4 physical spaces? There are tradeoffs, and it's a matter of personal taste. I used to prefer TABS over SPACES, but if you're working in a team the lines may not line up correctly if developers mix and match TABS and SPACES. So, to make the indentation consistent, a coding guideline must be placed among multiple developers.
