This week's Design and Usability Tactics newsletter talks about developing a CSS strategy. What strategies do you use for developing and maintaining your CSS style sheet files? Do you have a favorite tip that helps you organize your styles? Let us know.
Like you, I use multiple CSS files, usually three. One that removes/sets standard browser defaults to aid with cross-browser compatibility. Another that controls page layout, such as headers, navigation area(s), content area, and footers. And one other that sets the various styles throughout the document, such as font-style, link attributes, and whatever else seems to be applicable.
Also, I document within the stylesheet, what all the css does.
I have created several html and css templates that I use with different projects without needing to rewrite all the css or basic html.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
