using multiple css style sheets

[medlington]

Hi,

Im using a small javascript to switch between different style sheets on one of my websites, this is to enable the user to change the size of the text on the page.

can anyone tell me if I need to have every element of my page in both of the style sheets or can i just include the elements that change?

e.g.

say i have the elements: container, header, maintext and footer on my initial style sheet. then when the user clicks the link a new style sheet is loaded which has a different font size for the elements: maintext and footer.

do i need to include information for all 4 of the elements in the alternate style sheet or can i just put information about the elements: maintext and footer?

will the browser remember the formating from the previouse style sheet?

thanks,

I believe you need them all because each reference in
your HTML will look for the appropriate ID or class in your
style sheet, whichever one is active.
