Re: 2 style sheets overriding each other

Thank you for that -

I since found out that my problem was that the 'override' in the second
sheet  only affects the *attributes* repeated in that 2nd sheet; so when i
had two sheets with the same class, and the second class omitted some
attributes, then the original class attributes were used.
(rather than "no longer defined" as i had expected).
So i was approaching the whole problem back-to-front - i need a "basic
class" (for NS4) followed by a "posh class" (other stuff) with additional
attributes (rather than "taking away" the clever stuff for NS4)

umm -The @import technique i've not got onto yet - that message must be in
my "read this when you know more" folder, as it went beyond my limits for
now!

thanks-
