css selector as alias of another

[JakDaniel]

is it possible, create a selector as alias of another selector...
(maybe) in another stylesheet file?

ex:

html page
....
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style1.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style2.css" />
....
<span class="test1">test1</span>
<span class="test2">test2</span>
....

style1.css
....
test1{
font-size: 20px;
}
....

style2.css
....
test2{
# syntax to get style's information from another selector in another
stylesheet (ex: .test in style1.css file)
}
....

another way that I have found is this below...

..test_alias:.test_style{
}

..test_style{
color: #000000;
font-size: 40px;
font-weight: bold;
}

but it don't work... or my syntax is incorrect... you can help me?


thx

No, CSS has no such definition mechanisms. Why would you need such a
possibility?

No.

Inventing exciting new bits of syntax for CSS doesn't work, as much as
might like it to (Unless you're Hakon Lie).

It's the wrong approach anyway. If you want to apply chunks of CSS to
multiple things, find a set of selectors that match those multiple
things.

JakDaniel,

I'm afraid the short answer is "no". CSS 2.1 selectors are described at
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html.

CSS 3 is still being defined. The selector part is at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-css3-selectors-20051215/

I didn't see anything that does what you want, but I didn't spend much
time at it.
