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 also tend to group together all variants on p, eg. p#first, p.second, even div#third p. hth, RI ============ Richard Ishida W3C contact info: http://www.w3.org/People/Ishida/ W3C Internationalization: http://www.w3.org/International/ Publication blog: http://people.w3.org/rishida/blog/ > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bruce Gilbert > Sent: 28 May 2005 17:10 > To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org > Subject: [WSG] style sheet set up > > is there any "standard" way to set up the flow of a style > sheet?
