The C in CSS stands for Cascade. It's inherently designed to, uh, cascade. Though it makes your life more difficult, I think your best bet may be to declare all your rules with explicit selectors:
e.g. for every other thing on the page, do... #path .to .item input { } ...not just a blanket... input { } otherwise the main rule overrides. ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
