Curious about users' css workflow using Framework Builder

Curious about users' css workflow using Framework Builder

I'm really liking this extension - used it to build site templates for two separate projects this past month and I think I'm sold on the speed and flexibility it enables.

What I am curious about is other user's css workflow when building the separate php plug-in pages. Inside each plug-in page I've been linking a dedicated style sheet - header has it own, footer has its own, modules, widgets, so on and so forth. Then inside my main page that's populated with plug-ins, I'll have my reset, master, and any IE conditional style sheets.

I'm wondering if there's any benefit to consolidating my separate plug-in related style sheets into the master.css file. I haven't run into any cascading or specificity issues the way I've been doing it. And while using CS5.5, all related files are showing up when I'm in the main page so I have easy access to edit any plug-in or its specific style sheet. I was working in CS5 earlier today and I swore they weren't all showing up the same way.

Anyway, just curious.

I typically build a single page that pulls all of the plugin pages into it, see cms.i-cre8.com/ as an example, and attach all css, javascript etc. files to that page.

Thanks, Dave. I'm going to try that method out as well. And I'm now understanding the benefits of Design Time style sheets, given this context.

Yes Design Time Style Sheets work well with this methodology
