# - CSS multiple style sheets with one html page

if the value of the rel attribute is "stylesheet" and there is no title then the stylesheet is persistent and will always be applied. There can be any number of such stylesheets. If the value of the rel attribute is "stylesheet" and there is a title then the stylesheet is preferred and will initially be applied. If there is more than one such stylesheet (with different titles) then the last specied is used and the others are ignored. If the value of the rel attribute is "alternate stylesheet" then the title attributes serves to group these styles together. So the user can select to apply a group of stylesheets in one go. To combine multiple/partial style sheets into one set the TITLE attribute taking one and the same value to the LINK element. The combined style will apply as a preferred style, e.g.: <LINK REL=Stylesheet HREF="default.css" TITLE="combined"> <LINK REL=Stylesheet HREF="fonts.css" TITLE="combined"> <LINK REL=Stylesheet HREF="tables.css" TITLE="combined">

body {background-color:#FF8; } body {background:url(hvngate.jpg) top left; background-repeat:no-repeat;} With the above order the first body property is over-ridden and the browser behaves as if it were not coded. If the order is reversed then the yellow colour of the background peeps out when the browser window is enlarged. It could of course be coded:- body {background:url(hvngate.jpg) top left; background-repeat:no-repeat;} background-color:#FF8;
