Maximum CSS Classes

Apr 05

Have you ever gone along coding your front end, adding multiple classes to a single element, and then stop to consolidate because you feared you added a class too many? I know that I have at least paused to reconsider. <div class="related bug show nojs"> just seems to be reaching the limits of what my browser could handle.

Well, fear no more. Using JavaScript, Kilian Valkhof has uncovered a relieving (and surprising) conclusion. I don’t want to steal his thunder, but there is nothing to worry about; add all the classes you want.

I have wondered about that myself. The most I’ve used is five.

I remember when I first realized that multiple classes could be applied. It made my head explode. And I’ve been taking advantage of it ever since (the multiple classes, not the head explosion).
