Well to me it's just as bad as font tags... they are right there smack dab in the middle of the html making it pure h*ll to redesign using edits in the stylesheet only! Plus, linked in stylesheets are cached, inline just bloats the code. What I recommend is to use a mix of styledefinitions for selected html-elements, some basic classes for different positioning, some basic classes for color and some for fontstyling, something for decorations etc or something like that which suits your way of thinking. Name them smart, not "14pxRed", a better choice would be "mediumLargeColored" remember that you should be able to identify the presentation in the HTML even if the colors have changed since last redesign. Then you can use several classes on the elements, one for positioning, one for color and one for font: <p class="floatLeft accentBgColor mediumSize thinBorders">My para-text</p> that way you can quite easily keep your stylesheet in a reasonable size and retain the flexibility. /Dan [url=http://www.dmsproject.com/] [img]http://www.dmsproject.com/gif/newSiggie.gif[/img] [/url] [url=http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/FaqWiki/shownode.php?sortby=rating&id=260]{cell 260}[/url] [url=http://dmsproject.blogspot.com/]{Blog}[/url] -{"Theories without facts are just religions...?}- [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/582]DmS[/url] on 01-02-2006 18:50)[/small] Loading...
