Today I've been working on taking numerous scatterings of stylesheets throughout some spaghetti like code and compiling all of the style tags into a central file for global styles. I've been using CSSEdit from MacRabbit to create the stylesheets. I say "sheets" in the plural since I created one for the screen media and one for printing, in particular, because of some barcode labels that we print from a web page.
I link both of the stylesheets in the header of the HTML file and ran into a strange problem with, no not Internet Explorer, but Firefox. For some reason if I put the screen stylesheet first then the print styles didn't over-ride them when printing, again, only in Firefox but in Internet Explorer it worked correctly (I know, strange, how often do you get to say that about IE)
