Recently a CSS "compressor" utility has been making its rounds on the del.icio.us/Furl bookmark sites (and the like).

FWIW, my personal preference within a CSS file is to group all the properties relating to a particular selector into a single declaration. I've seen many people declare properties for, say, p in multiple locations. That makes it difficult to get a complete picture of the styles applied for p. I al

I may be a little late to reply but hopefully this will help you all as much as it helped me. A lot of scalable programming is done using a framework of some sort (a set of prewritten bits of code aka modules) but a lot of designers are afraid, or confused by that pure geek way of thinking (i know

Hi Kornel, Stylesheets compress wonderfully. Enable gzip transfer encoding for them (but if you do it in PHP or alike, you'll have to send cache headers and implement cache validators, otherwise clients will re-download stylesheets). How do you do that? Kim **
