Style Sheet(s) Version History
The master style sheet contains many useful styles. You should not need to create your own local styles very often, if ever. If you have a style you think should be included in the master style sheet so everyone can take advantage of it, please contact us.
There are five style sheets:
- master (epa.css)
- The master style sheets links to epa-content.css
- hacks for Internet Explorer, version 6 and under (ie.css)
- (For AA/RA or Topic home pages only [aara.css])
- print version (print.css)
Do not download local copies of the style sheets. If you require local copies for development, you will be responsible for:
- not modifying the style sheets in any way, and
- maintaining a current copy.
Notification of updates to the style sheets will be sent via the Web Council, epaweb-owners listserv, and Web Workgroup.
Rules in local style sheets, if you create them, cannot override any rules in the master style sheets.
