CSS

Just discovered that css class names can't start with numbers

I'm sure many will go, "Yeah, we knew that." Well, I've never before run into this so it never came up. I tried using .1x-cover-fp for an image class name and it wouldn't take (showed in dark blue, not green, in Workspaces). When I changed it to .fp-1x-cover it worked fine.

Well, now I know.

To be frank, I never tried to use a number when defining a class. But it's good to know never to start : )), and yes, it does highlight that is not correct.
