[support] block.tpl.php CSS issue

[Shai Gluskin]

Hi Gary,

It's a bit confusing... and different themes deal with it differently. But
the underlying concept here that you are missing is that a module must be
responsible for a block. So in the case of "block-block-1" it is the block
module that is responsible. The menu module (as many other modules) also
creates blocks. So you might see "block-menu-1". For each controlling
module, the numbering starts over.

But some themes don't use the "delta" or at least not in certain situations.
Like I just looked at a site (I think I used Genesis there) where I saw
"block-menu-nav" where "nav" was the name of the menu. There was no delta.
And on another site using Zen and Panels I saw a block in a panel get
"pane-menu-block-1. So now I've confused you. But I think I've gotten you
over the hump here, conceptually, yes? A module always "owns" a block.

best,

Shai
