I think this is an allright solution. However, you might end up repeating yourself if you are not careful in delegating styles to the main sheet. As long as you can stay vigilant on pushing shared classes to the shared sheets, you'll be fine. Otherwise you can end up with spaghetti styles with the same class/id defined 3 different ways on 3 different sheets. Personally I divide my sheets by section. So for a CMS all the styles related to each type of content are on a single sheet. If anything ends up on more than one sheet it goes into the common sheet. -Mark ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
