[TYPO3] Sub-Templates?

Thu Oct 26 02:21:39 CEST 2006

I am trying to get a different header image to appear on each of my  
pages. Previously, I apparently had this working, but I can not now.  
I have a working root template with my homepage working perfectly.  
Now, I created an extension template with one line in it:
--
page.includeCSS.file1 = fileadmin/templates/banners/banner-2.css
--

I then created a CSS file has the following code in it to change the  
banner:
---
.banner {
         background-image: url(http://ryanoff.com/fileadmin/templates/ 
urbanleaf/images/banner_02.jpg);
}
----

It looks like this should work, but the problem I am having is that  
it appears the browsers loads the banner-2.css first, then the  
original CSS, thus the original image is load on TOP of the new one.

Is there a way to change the behaviour of the template files to load  
the extension template on top of the original template (thus  
overlaying my new banner on the original one)?

Logically speaking, my understanding of extension templates is that  
they get loaded second and thus take precendence over the original  
template. This way I would expect to keep the original template, then  
have my extension template loaded on top of the original one..

Any thoughts??
