I have one directory which contains all of my style sheets. In that directory I have several style sheets where I've broken out the styles into the elements **I think** belong together most logically. I have one style sheet for page layout, one for block elements, one for standard page elements and then I have one for each area that needs its own styles. On pages that need the styles to be different, I simply call that specific style sheet in to effectively redefine the style for the elements in question. I TRY not to ever use inline styles, but I know that there are a couple of spots where I have. I also have some documentation in the style directory giving a simple break-down of how it's all organized -- nothing big or formal, just some comments to help the next guy out a bit.
I don't even remotely resemble a CSS guru, but I do have a system that I think works really well for me. It's easy to follow and keeps things broken up into workable chunks. --Ferg -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ryan Everhart Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 8:04 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Style Sheet Discussion All, I believe this is a very timely discussion since the meeting last night had to do with CSS and I'm sure you all have hundred's of ideas going through your head. Here my issue: I have designed an internal website for my company which my organization of about 200 people use daily. In this website there about 5 to 6 web based applications. For these applications I have a style sheet set up defining font size, table styles, row styles, button styles and other styles like forms. These are styles that I use through out apply my applications on this site. After doing some research I came across a site that has some pretty cool styles for <ul> and <li> tags [1]. So like any other CSS information on my site I started putting these styles on my Style sheet and it got me wondering. How do you all organize all the hundreds of lines of styles you could have for your web sites? Do you keep them all on one style sheet? What if you are using a particular style only on one page on your entire web site, do you do inline css for that style? Right now my style sheet is 350 lines long. Is that too big? Should I have a style sheet for each application? These are the questions that come to mind. How do you all organize your CSS? Anyone else going to the Netxel Cup race this weekend?
