Is it required to add a space between the selector and the curly brace, and between the colon and value in the styleshe?

I'm just wondering because I've been using css without adding any spaces and it works, maybe is semantically correct to do so?

Sidney Villanueva It is not required, it is more of a best practices thing... Which can also be about preference, but in my opinion, the space makes the code more readable and look less cluttered.
