		<description><![CDATA[The short answer is:

@import url("base.css");


Howerever, bare in mind that every @import statement is a new request to the server. This might not be a problem for you but when optimal performance is required you should avoid the @import. Think twice!!! Do you even need to have 5 stylesheet files.

Images
The old fashion way is using images.  Some say that the other ways (JS for example) aren&#8217;t nearly as good:  No anti-aliasing and senseless markup.

All those JS fans would say go with jQuery, CSS support is minimal, images are too fiddly, to be able [...]]]></description>

First, to do that you&#8217;d need to have XHTML Transitional doctype.
