If I have 2 CSS styles that assign background images to an element, and one style overrides the other. Will both images be downloaded by the browser or just the overriding one?
I reason I’m asking is I recently attended a workshop on conditional stylesheets for mobile devices. If I override my normal bg images with smaller ones to save bandwidth, will the larger images be loaded anyway? This seemed to be what the guy was saying but it seems strange to me it would work this way.
It seems in some cases the answer is yes:
