[CLUE-Tech] Font color for links: variations of a theme

[David L. Willson]

Specificity and order.  That's how you predict the resolution of conflicts
between applications of style.
Two examples:
If I describe the same elements of the p tag in a CSS and in the tag itself,
the definition in the tag will take effect because it is more specific to
the stuph it is stylizing.
If I describe the p tag, and define the same elements for it in two CSS's,
and I link them both, the last one linked will take effect on my paragraphs.

All of this time I should have been saying that such-and-so 'should' take
effect, rather than 'will' take effect, because, just like every OS, every
browser SUCKS!

Kevin,

You don't need php to include a stylesheet on your pages.  Just put this in
the head section:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="include/header.css">

I think you can include more than one stylesheet this way (though I can't
tell
you how to predict the results).
