YUI 2 and CSS

IHateMyJob2004

I am using YUI2 which is all hosted off of Yahoo! servers since they patch any critical security patches for me.

I am using the default style sheets hosted at Yahoo which are rather large and have relative links to images. So I do not want to copy all of hte style sheets and iamges to my own server. I want to leave them on Yahoo!s servers.

I want to leave the default style sheet in place and over-ride some of the styles for my page. Things like row coloring for a table. How do I do this?

Can I link both style sheets and the last defined style is what is used?
So I would have:
default style sheet link
over-ride style sheet link

???

What is the best way to accomplish what I want to accomplish.

Sorry if this is confusing. I have spent about 2 hours of my life dealing with CSS now.

Well if you're from IE6/IE7 or before.. 'easy' and 'CSS' don't fit in the same sentence. 🙂

Its easy to use.. but cross browser support in the past is a nightmare (still is, until IE9 prevalence).

I think you mean it's easy to understand. It's when you try to use it that life becomes a nightmarish hell. It is getting better, though.
 
MS isn't letting IE9 run on XP, so there will be hundreds of millions of PCs in use for years from now that won't have it.

CSS is relatively easy if you build it yourself layer by layer, but trying to override someone else's like a worpress.com template can be too much fun.
 
CSS is 85% "Pain free", 10% "Would be pain free except for cross browser issues", 4% "This is far, far harder then it has any right to be" and 1% "Completely impossible, despite how trivial it seems."

Wow, thats terrible. (the XP thing). I thought MS had learned their lesson by now with the fact that windows 2000 can't update past IE6.

Wouldn't it be great if everyone, from the beginning, had started with good CSS3 support. Ah, that would be a sight to behold.

I'm almost to the point of saying "You haven't updated past IE 6? Screw you!". good alternatives (Firefox/chrome/and even safari) have been around forever now.

Yet that 15% causes enough headaches to make the 85% almost not worth it.
