I noticed the quote "name the style sheet with the title attribute." began with a lower-case n. Did the sentence begin with "You may..."? Maybe it was just telling you how to name it if you choose to. "When a user selects a named style..." implies that naming styles isn't necessary. The first alone will be applied when it doesn't share a name--I assume. ---- Begin Original Message ---- From: fantasai <fantasai@escape.com> Sent: Sat, 14 Apr 2001 20:07:36 -0400 To: www-html@w3.org Subject: 14.3.2 Specifying external style sheets - error? http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/styles.html#h-14.3 Given this: <link rel="stylesheet" title="Preferred" type="text/css" href="a.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" title="Preferred" type="text/css" href="b.css"> "If two or more LINK elements specify a preferred style sheet, the first one takes precedence." [section 14.3.2] requires that only the a.css be applied. However, both must be applied because they are part of the same named group: "Authors may group several alternate style sheets (including the author's preferred style sheets) under a single style name. When a user selects a named style, the user agent must apply all style sheets with that name." [section 14.3.1] "name the style sheet with the title attribute." [section 14.3.2] resulting in a contradiction. The intent, I believe, was to state that if two or more groups of preferred style sheets are specified, the first one takes precedence. ---- End Original Message ---- Bookmark the HyperMart Small Business Center.
