    <p>This question is about organizing the actual CSS directives themselves within a .css file. When developing a new page or set of pages, I usually just add directives by hand to the .css file, trying to refactor when I can. After some time, I have hundreds (or thousands) of lines and it can get difficult to find what I need when tweaking the layout.</p> <p>Does anyone have advice for how to organize the directives?</p> <ul> <li>Should I try to organize top-down, mimicking the DOM?</li> <li>Should I organize functionally, putting directives for elements that support the same parts of the UI together?</li> <li>Should I just sort everything alphabetically by selector?</li> <li>Some combination of these approaches?</li> </ul> <p>Also, is there a limit to how much CSS I should keep in one file before it might be a good idea to break it off into separate files? Say, 1000 lines? Or is it always a good idea to keep the whole thing in one place?</p> <p>Related Question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72911/whats-the-best-way-to-organize-css-rules">What's the best way to organize CSS rules?</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
