an alternative is not to override (redefine), but split the styles into
reliable and iffy parts
then you can put the @import into the linked stylesheet (provided it's the
first line)
for example, the linked sheet "basic_style.css" would contain
@import url(advanced_style.css);
body { font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ;
background-color: #EEEEEE; color: #333333; }
and then the imported sheet "advanced_style.css" would contain
body { margin: 5px 5% 5px 5% ; padding: 5px 5% 5px 5% ; }
i suppose, perry, this is perhaps what you mean by "redefine"
i prefer to think of it as "adding" the iffy parts and the reliable parts
together
only browsers that understand @import will get the margin and padding
definitions, while all browsers will get the font and colours
so there isn't anything really being "redefined" although both stylesheets
have a style definition for BODY, if that's what you meant
note that @imported styles come first, because some old version of IE has to
have the @import as the first line of the linked stylesheet -- but the order
doesn't really matter, because we've split the style definitions into
mutually exclusive parts
the bottom line is, there's only one line, the <link> tag, in your html
