wjw Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Is there a way to include one style within another for example:.noborder { border: none;}.datafield { /* include noborder style here */ font-weight: bold; . . .}I know I can add several classes in the XHTML (i.e. class="datafield noborder") but have a lot of places where this would greatly help. (okay, I'm just too lazy to type all those class names:)Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S@m Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I don't think so, but I'm not an expert.I would create each class as you need and assign them accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boen_robot Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 .smallText { font-size: 65%;}.dataFieldLabel { .smallText; font-weight: normal; . . .}.dataFieldData { .smallText; font-weight: bold; . . .} This is what you'd like, or what worked? If it was my second guess, then I'm really a complete CSS noob .As for your problem, I think you can use a single class name twice. Both of the priorities will be appyed, and the ones in the second will take priority if overlapping. For example:.dataFieldLabel { font-weight: normal; . . .}.dataFieldLabel { font-size: 65%; . . .} This would apply both the font-size and font-weight. But as you can see it's a bit unpractical, especially to include in one stylesheet. Consider using multiple classes in your (X)HTML. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
