[WSG] {Spam?} stupid question
Hi,
Would someone explain the how and why of using/importing two style sheets
into a page. Example below.
{!--
@import /c/wamu.css;
@import /c/dr.css;
--}
thanks.
kevin.

Thanks-it makes sense- It would be smart to break large style sheets down into managable chunks. I see a lot of high traffic sites that only use the @import method that would not work well unstyled. Is this acceptable yet? -Kevin ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

Well, if you mean that using @import excludes some browsers: it is acceptable. If you consider that most of your styling won't even work in the browsers that don't @import, then you're better off. The average CSS styled website won't work well in NS4, IE4 and all those, if you know what I mean. They don't even support it correctly. So acceptable? It's the better thing to do. Cause you gotta know this: content is better for them than a heavily broken layout. -- Cheers, Rob. http://zooibaai.nl | http://digital-proof.org | http://chancecube.com ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
Re: [WSG] {Spam?} stupid question
Just to elaborate, you might have one stylesheet named site.css with
site-wide styles, such as banners, link-styles, headers, etc. Then you might
have another stylesheet called forum.css for your message boards, and
another called products.css for a page with pictures of products, etc.
This way, the styles in site.css aren't in every single css file, saving
space. Also saves loading time, because in the products page you probably
wont need the forums styles...
