Re: OT: I love CSS :-)
Welcome to 1997? Css does indeed rule, and I use it exclusively for presentation layer chrome. Makes it really easy to repurpose code for use on other sites, I have a core set of .class and #id definitions that are part of every site/corresponding CSS file that I write. I just wish that CSS files included some level of logic and variable setting capability, my color schemes tend to have 3-6 core colors and it would be much nicer to be able to set each color once as a variable and then call it whenever needed. Sure, I can do that with CF but I prefer straight CSS files because they get cached by the client.

RE: OT: I love CSS :-)
My comment isn't to say that I've only just discovered it, I've been using it for years though have only gotten into css-p in the past two years. I just had a few lightbulb moments this morning while working on a design and just wanted to share the meme :) As for multiple color schemes, I'm hitting that myself. What I'm going to do is have a master CSS file that sets defaults and then load optional styles that only have definitions for colors to update the earlier settings.

Use CF to generate your CSS. - Original Message - From: Pete Ruckelshaus [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 10:47 AM Subject: Re: OT: I love CSS :-) Welcome to 1997?

Re: OT: I love CSS :-)
Yeah, what I have done in the past is use @import statements to import CSS files based upon need. What I generally do is have a fonts CSS file, a structure CSS file, a media CSS file, and a color scheme CSS file. This allows for multiple color schemes, 2 or 3 column layout for a given page, print, screen, or handheld, and different font faces/sizes -- definitely a must, especially if you're co-branding a web site). The downside to the multiple CSS file apprach is that it can be a real bear to administer -- adding or deleting a selector in one file means that you should do the same to the remaining files. I got to the point where I had to write a databased CSS administration app in CF that published CSS files to the server.
