I may be a little late to reply but hopefully this will help you all as much as it helped me. A lot of scalable programming is done using a framework of some sort (a set of prewritten bits of code aka modules) but a lot of designers are afraid, or confused by that pure geek way of thinking (i

is there any standard way to set up the flow of a style sheet? I usually try and use just one style sheet and start with global elements such as body, p, table, li etc. followed by elements as they flow on a page from header to footer. I use one stylesheet even though with a large site, this can

I tend to divide my style sheets into smaller files. For example, I usually put only basic layout in one file, i.e. layout.css, the general text formatting styles in another, and then the colors for the entire site in a colors.css file. On 5/28/05, Bruce Gilbert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: is there

I tend to clear all the browser defaulted styles at the top in one large grouped rule. I then set out all the divisions with their ID's, in the order they appear in the xhtml eg: div#top { } div#middle { } div#bottom { } Underneath this I would work though all the rules focusing within one

I completely concur Kornel. Also, I prefer to use one master.css file to control my entire site, and create additional stylesheets that based on a pages specific requirements (i.e. print-friendly, forms, etc.). In addition, I use comments in my master.css file extensively and divide my master

Hi Kornel, Stylesheets compress wonderfully. Enable gzip transfer encoding for them (but if you do it in PHP or alike, you'll have to send cache headers and implement cache validators, otherwise clients will re-download stylesheets). How do you do that? Kim
