Hi all,
I'd appreciate your guidance on how best to organise my CSS styles.
I am designing a site that has an overall design with some variations
on some pages. For example, I have this for a page banner style:
#page_banner {
background: url(../images/banner_page_name.gif) no-repeat;
width: 990px;
height: 102px;
}
where I will have a number of different banner_page_name.gif files.
My client also wants to have colour variations within the overall
them on some pages, meaning that I will have to vary background and
keyline colours.
The question is one of how best to organise my css files. I could
have all of the styles defined in one .css file and put the
variations in the head of each html file, or I could link to a style
sheet designed specifically for the page, and then import the more
general style sheet. From what I read it appears that linked styles
override imported styles. The latter seems a cleaner approach, but
most of the sites styles would end up in an imported style sheet, and
I understand that older browsers do not support importing.
Anyway, I can't figure out in my own mind which is the best approach,
and can't find much on the web about it. Any guidance appreciated.
Thanks,
Ian.
