Question
I have a CSS question, please don't look at the spec,
I want to understand how Web Developers understand some CSS terms:
#foo {
color: red;
opacity: 0.5;
}
** Do you know what is a Declaration here? **
See answer there: https://gist.github.com/2006202
Please comment here to say if you knew it or not, but don't give the answer.
It's important to share your answer not matter if you knew to correct answer or not.
This will have an impact of how we build a menu in the Firefox DevTools.
Thanks!

Yep, yet I didn't make the difference between block declaration and declaration.

I knew it but as I wrote https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/Syntax this week, I had a big advantage ;-)
Strictly speaking there is 3 declaration there: the two obvious and one empty one after the second ;.

Never really thought about the terms (declaration, property/value) when it comes to css. Whenever I see and work with css I get upset that it's not more "organized" and wonder how inefficient it is that something that is 20 lines could be made into 4 lines if the person writing the css understood css better.

Got it wrong :( I thought red was the declaration.

@louisremi

Same as @brianking. I thought "there's gotta be a trap here" and picked the whole declaration block as a declaration.
