How to enable CSS 3.0 Intellisense in vs2008.

Today I was trying out CSS 3.0 and the document was not getting formatted because the new css 3.0 tags are not getting recognized.

To enable css 3.0 you need to find the key "{A764E895-518D-11d2-9A89-00C04F79EFC3}"

Note: You may many matching keys but look for the one which shows schemas

Add a new key Schema 5 and add 2 string values File and Friendly name and set the values to

css30.xml and CSS 3.0.

Now take the css30.xml and copy to the folder below.

C:\Program files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Packages\1033\schemas\CSS

Download the xml here (For some reason it is not allowing me to add the css30.xml).

Close your visual studio and open it. when you open a css file it should pull the drop down with friendly name.

Now you don't see an error under border-radius.

How to put a border to div.

Yesterday, in my code I was not happy with putting 2 divs, one inside an another to mimic the mouse hover effect. I will try and find something that could be done with 1 div. I will post the code once I find the solution.

****Update ****

The code is a lot cleaner and with one div I could get the job done. You don't need 2 divs to mimic the nice effect.
