Thanks Fred ~ My follow-up questions are inserted below your comments (which I have indented).
~ Ken There is nothing that says that the styles from users.scss should only apply to pages rendered by the users controller, nor is there an inheritance chain. There *does *seem to be a de facto inheritance chain (or precedence ordering) among my three *.scss* files (in descending order of precedence, the chain is *users.scss, toys,scss, scaffold.scss*) - that is, if I add a style to any of these, it trumps those later in the chain; if I remove a style, it exposes the one following it in the chain. What I don't understand is how this particular chain got established, and why. In other words, why are there separate *scaffold.scss, users.scss, **toys.scss, *and other *<model-name>.scss *files in the standard generated Rails setup? Why not just one *.scss* file for all application-wide styles? And if I want a particular style sheet to be scoped to something less than the whole app, where do I put it or references to it? I just noticed this in the application.css file. It seems to speak to these questions, but I don't understand it: * You're free to add application-wide styles to this file and they'll appear at the bottom of the * compiled file so the styles you add here take precedence over styles defined in any styles * defined in the other CSS/SCSS files in this directory. It is generally better to create a new * file per style scope. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
