Rob,

I've been modularizing like this for years:

<link href="../../as/cs/com.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"> <link href="../../as/cs/p7pmv0.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"> <link href="../../as/cs/thickbox.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/ css" media="screen">

Am I doing something wrong?

Is there an advantage to importing over linking, or a limit to the links (ie. should only one be linked, the rest imported and if so, why?

Bob

I believe what you may have seen is the practice of

having <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="" media= "screen"> in the page body for xhtml validation purposes
having a raft of @import statements in the linked CSS file

The principle being to modularise your CSS, having multiple separate CSS files

I don't think the real concern is for long since dead browsers such as IE4 and NN4

Makes sense and I already knew that.

The reason behind my post has to do with me noticing a trend towards importing style sheets and I was curious if this was the current "best practice" and if so, why.


Bob

Using the @import stylesheet rule is great if you only want your stylesheet rules to be picked up by most modern browsers. Netscape 4 and below and IE 4 and below do not support the @import rule. This allows you to target stylesheets to specific browser versions.

Does that make sense?
