Reasoning behind the bench

I’ve been working a bit on my CSSParser (which I will rename to CSSReader og CSSHandler when I get around to it), and one thing I found out was, when reading shorthand values (like: border: 1px solid #00ffff;) you can’t assume they always come in the same order.

.something {
  border-right: 1px dashed #00ff00;
  border-left: dashed 1px rgb(255,0,0);
  border-top blue solid 1px;
}

So to set an array (mapped with [‘width’], [‘style’] and [‘color’]) I can’t just split the string and set it, I need to split the string and then try to guess every value. To guess the values I’ll be running through the following process: Read more »
