    <p>I think that if you are having problems with the size of your css files then it is time to <strong>rethink your styling strategy</strong>. The C in CSS stands for cascading. Quite often when CSS files get too big it is due to styles not being re-used where appropriate and through poor use of the cascading behaviour.</p> <p>I don't say this lightly. I have worked on some large, complex retail sites and currently on very complicated financial trading applications. Whenever I have come accross sites with more than a few hundred styles, we have achieved large improvements in design, reductions in complexity and improvement of maintainability by reducing css complexity.</p> <p>One place to start is doing a Google sesarch on <strong>css reset</strong>. There are multiple different implementations, but they generally follow the theme of overriding the differences in layout for each of the browsers and removing arbitrary borders, margins and padding etc. Starting with a clean slate, if you will. Then you can go ahead and build up your styles from there, being careful to make the most of <strong>cascading</strong> and <strong>css chaining</strong></p> <p>Chaining is where you have more than one class on an element. eg:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="box right small"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p><code>box</code> might have some general styles that you might like to apply to many block elements such as div, h1...h6, p, ul, li, table, blockquote, pre, form. <code>small</code> is self explanatory <code>right</code> might simply be aligned to the right, but with a right padding of 4px. Whatever. The point is that you can have multiple classes per element and build up the styling from reusable building blocks - groupings of individual style settings. Otherwise known as classes.</p> <p>On a very simple level, look for oportunities to combine styles:</p> <p>so:</p> <pre><code>h1 {font-family: tahoma, color:#333333; font-size:1.4em;} h2 {font-family: tahoma, color:#333333; font-size:1.2em;} h3 {font-family: tahoma, color:#333333; font-size:1.0em;} </code></pre> <p>becomes</p> <pre><code>h1, h2, h3 {font-family: tahoma, color: #333} h1 {font-size:1.4em;} h2 {font-size:1.2em;} h3 {font-size:1.0em;} </code></pre> <p>Only, slightly smaller, but do this kind of thing lots of times and you can make a difference.</p> <p>Also, <a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/" rel="noreferrer"><strong>Validate your css</strong></a>. This will help you spot errors in your code.</p>

    1. COI found that I missed an ending single quote for the image url. I thank all for the help. I will give it a try to make the CSS really cascading.

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.
