Often when I'm designing a site, I have a need for a specific style to apply to a specific element on a page and I'm absolutely certain it will only ever apply to that element on that page (such as an absolutely positioned button or something).

This came up from another question that was asked here but I figure it's something that probably has a "Best Practice" Approach. When designing a website, the designer will most likely put together a set of generic styles for all elements within a website. (Standard Fonts for Text in Divs/Spans/H1/H2s) In the case of tables, they may b...
I have a form in a jQuery dialog box named "login". In JavaScript, I detect if "#login" is in the URL -- if so, it displays the login dialog box.
