Re: [Design with CSS 3757] What is the syntactic value of @

[Brandtley McMinn]

Hey Patrick,

@ is usually a declarative statement that instructs the browser how to read the file.

@import imports an external (CSS) file, @charset sets the character encoding value of the file such as @charset "utf-8"; @media defines a number of attributes associated with what the physical properties of the display are determining how the file is rendered.

There's WAY more @ methods than you really need since browsers have standardized the way web documents are processed and almost intelligently decide these things for you, but @ just gives you more control over how your file is read by the browser instead of relying on defaults.
