| CSS Doctor | Some code prototyped | YYYY-MM-DD | Kevin Dangoor |
Summary
The goal of the CSS Doctor is to answer the question "why doesn't this look the way I expected it to?" as quickly as possible.
CSS rule precedence is complex and little understood and the CSS Doctor will help users get their layouts working 'and' help them learn precedence at the same time.
Team
