Title: N00b-y CSS question.
Post by: GilloD on September 08, 2008, 10:01:43 AM

Let's say I have two style sheets- a.css and b.css. If a.css says

Code: [Select]

p .headline {
font-size:x-small;}
and b.css says

Code: [Select]

p .headline{
font-family: helevtica;}
Does headline become an EXTRA SMALL HELVETICA style or just HELVETCIA.

My question is, if the styles don't contradict (i.e., setting size to x-small in A and x-large in B), do they just "add up"?

I ask because I have some tightly styled text for our website, but now I need to add a CMS wrapper to a lot of those paragraphs. I suppose I could just tuck them into a <span>, but I'd like to reduce waste by just defining certain attributes for that CMS class.

I'm so stupid. I can just call two classes, apparently. IE

Code: [Select]

<div id="regclass cmsclass">

might want to add "arial" or "san-serif" in addition, because the exact font helvetica isnt on all computers

It'll be in Japanese, so it doesn't matter. I was just being generic.
