Name For CSS File

Hi Guys,

I want to toss something out there for discussion.  Typically page related CSS is placed in a file called styles or something similar.  I'm a bit more picky.  Because of my programming and database background I like to compartmentalize my CSS.  To me styles are those page elements that have been given a name either by ID or Class.  There are still a bunch of others that are not given a name. body, html and the list continues.  I plan on putting those types of elements into their own CSS file but I'm gaving difficulty chosing a name for that file.  I would appreciate any suggestions you might have.   Thanks in advance.

Filenames can be anything you wish, providing they meet standard HTTP naming conventions  -- no special characters.  I.e.  style.css, custom.css, special.css, monkeybutts.css, foo.css, etc...

 

CSS selector names are limited to:

  • standard HTML tags,
  • re-usable classes,
  • unique IDs
  • special usecase wildcards * and  > 

 

It would be counterproductive to carve out separate CSS files for each selector types as that would adversely increase HTTP server requests and delay page load.   For quicker loading web pages,  a single stylesheet is usually faster than several separate ones.  But there are exceptions. 

 

Google Chrome Developers had a recent discussion about this on YouTube.  Well worth watching BTW.

 

Is .css a bad idea?
