It seems like you a little vague on what exactly -webkit does. It's a CSS Vendor Prefix.

The reason they are vendor prefixes because they correspond to how a CSS property is rendered in a particular browser (e.g. -webkit for Chrome vs -moz for Firefox).

You just type -webkit- and all is done. or -o- or whatever webkit you use :)

I am new to the concept of "webkit":, could we please get a link or maybe some more information then what is rendered in this video. Could they please be placed under the Teacher's Notes section. Thanks in advance.

Webkit is an engine that some browsers use to render web pages. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit

Thanks Joshua, that is exactly what I needed. You ROCK... Go Blazers!
