Howdy folks:

 I'm new to skinning. I'm going ok so far, but have a question regarding CSS files.

I copied the gravity skin and created my new sample skin from it. In this sampleskin folder, i have a default.ascx and skin.css.

in my default.ascx, I created a div with a class called "footer" and in skin.css, set some properties (background color). 

 In using Firebug to look at the HTML, my style is being overridden from the Home.css file. I don't understand why skin.css isn't winning the battle and why home.css is?

(I figured out that if I just change the style name and class reference to something other than footer, my custom css does apply. )

But I'm just trying to figure out why home.css would override skin.css of my skin for the div class and style 'footer'

thanks for any insights you can provide.

there is no home.css in gravity which suggests it was added elsewhere and that's the cause of the overriding styles

This may help. Look at the order of css files: http://www.dnnsoftware.com/wiki/page/...
