Is there a way to have multiple style sheets on the same site and on the same .php page so as an example someone comming in from a ps3 or mobile gets a different style sheet so the page is not too huge on other devices, also I would like the page to print without the header and footer information and dropdown links etc.

please help and try to keep it simple or just give expanded explanations.

Of course, just add additional links to the additional stylesheets.

Sorry to be silly but do these additional style sheets need to be certain naming conventions or somethinng, could you try to explain or give me a link to some kind of tutorial, for the not so intelectually gifted aduhhh

Thanks for the confirmation though at least I know im not just barking up the wrong tree.

No, CSS is not limited to any naming conventions other than using the proper selectors.

If you link to multiple stylesheets all you need is multiple links:
<link rel="stylseheet" href="main.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylseheet" href="extra1.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylseheet" href="extra2.css" type="text/css" />

Ok that sounds easy enough, now do you know how I would tell the clients browser to use which stylesheet. I know how to get information on what browser they are using but how do I tell it that when you see x browser to use x stylesheet, and for y browser use y stylesheet, and especially for print use stylesheet z lets say.

Why do you need different stylesheets for different browsers ? Rarely do you need that any more, and the only real reason is to use conditional comments and separate css sheets to force IE 6 and below to behave similar to the more standards-compliant browsers.

If you define a print stylesheet, the browsers will use it to style your printed page. There's lots of info about the different media stylesheets here:

thanks so much the link you provided had the info I was looking for, as for my reasoning, I have viewed my pages on my ps3 and my mobile and both do not look too good, I have also tried to staw away from any shockwave, flash, cookies etc as my target audience probably would be uncertain if their browser said download flash here, or will you accept a cookie. I just want it to be plain sailing.

Thanks for all the advice.
