So I'm new to web programming and am wondering what the following code means.
* html #container
{
width: 744px;
w\idth: 724px;
}

Could I just do without this when I type in <div id = "container"> in my html code? Thanks!

Regards,

Franklin

Neither should be used, if necessary use Conditional comments (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537512%28VS.85%29.aspx) to target IE.
