is it possible to import one stylesheet from another, rather than referencing many stylesheets in the header?

Yep.

You're linked style sheet on your page would look like

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/screen.css" />

And then screen.css would look like this

@import url("whatever.css");
@import url("whatever1.css");
@import url("whatever2.css");
@import url("whatever3.css");

@import url(gds.css) print;
@import url(gds2.css) screen;
@import url(gds3.css) handheld;

etc

[Mik]

arr huge quotes

[oli]

more fixes eh.

[smallbeer]

we'll forget about media type for now.

[Mik]

haha

[Brown]

cheers both. mik - your media type declaration doesn't seem to work.

[Mik]

thats why we said leave it as ie 5/6 - cant remember which fucks up with it.

there are plenty of ways around it

[smallbeer]

I meant I'll leave the media type out of the stylesheet link because it was causing the forum to stretch.

[Brown]

can i open this one again.

any limit? is this ridiculous:

@import url(cart2.css);
@import url(home.css);
@import url(h2milfs.css);
@import url(trackListingTable2.css);
@import url(subNavList.css);
@import url(invalidIEhacks.css);
@import url(trackMoreInfo.css);
@import url(genre.css);
@import url(registrationForm.css);
@import url(cartItems.css);
@import url(news.css);

it could grow.

and then, how about importing other stylesheets from within one of those?

AFAIK you can do as many as you like - though I'm sure at some point it will have a negative effect on the initial load times - loading a 50k file is quicker than loading 50 1k files if you get my drift - though once everything is cached your golden. Might be worng though.

[Stickman]

Yeah, you can do all of that.

I reached about 20 once, got confused and decided I should have coded the css better.

[Stickman]

I mean reuse more classes etc.

wtf is all this about then.

ahh before jaded stella memories.

[Brown]

its already doing that, but if you've got a site with 30+ h2's, its nice to clear the 2 page scrolls of milfed background images to a seperate file, and i know where they all are.

is this or could it and how might it effect anything does anybody know?

i will find some time and experiment later. always later...

[Stickman]

Its fine.

[Brown]

ok. thanks.
