Using imported style sheets

You can also import an external style sheet into a page by using the @import property in a style sheet:

@import: url(hintstyles.css)

Put the @import tag at the beginning of a <style> block or a linked style sheet before any style declarations. The browser applies rules in imported style sheets before the other rules you define for the containing style sheet. For example, if the imported style sheet set the colour of <h1> to green but you also set up a style for <h1> that sets the colour to blue, the <h1> tag would be blue.
