Abstract
On the surface, CSS seems easy. It has 45 commonly used properties you can employ to style a document. Below the surface, different combinations of properties and property values trigger completely different results. I call this CSS polymorphism because the same property has many meanings. The result of CSS polymorphism is a combinatorial explosion of possibilities.
