Proper CSS format??

[2161]

I have been working with CSS on and off and have finally finished formatting my website. I am trying to make sure the format is correct before I do a final update to the site, for one reason is it will make it easier to read if I need to update something later. I am using 4 external style sheets and this is the format I have come up with. Is there any particular order they should be in?? I am just putting part of it up, but it's the order I am going to use unless there is a better one. I am listing them all even though I may not use all of them.

font-family
font-size
color
text-align
margin-top
margin-right
margin-bottom
margin-left
border-style
border-width
border-color
border-top
border-right
border-bottom
border-left
padding-top
padding-right
padding-bottom
padding-left
background-color
width
height

Is this order ok or does it not matter??

font: size[px] family;
color: #xxx;
text-align: wherever;
margin: top[px] right[px] bottom[px] left[px];
border: width[px] style color;
padding: top[px] right[px] bottom[px] left[px];
background-color: #xxx;
width: ?px;
height: ?px;

The only difference the order makes is that lower declarations override higher ones on the list.

the order doesnt matter.

for each style you created, you can repeat all this inside.
its class property, so define a style as a class :rolleyes:

use dreamweaver to help. much easier.
