The crucial bit is the caching - if you have one large sitewide stylesheet then it is downloaded once and then cached which makes things quicker for each page. It might make things ever so marginally quicker to assign different smaller stylesheets to different pages but the extra time in having to go and fetch it each time would certainly counteract any possible advantage there might be in that method. So use one big file where possible. ___________________ Emps FAQs: [url=http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/53/]Emperor[/url] Loading...
