Author Is it legal to override CSS?

I've added two stylesheets at the header the first one is a stylesheet
for all the pages, and the second one is for this page only. Just like
the followng.

<link rel="stylesheet" .... href="common.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" .... href="specific.css">

If a style for an element is defined both in the common stylesheet and
the page specific stylesheet, it seems the later one overrides the
first one. The reason why I do this is, there are the same navigation
part on every pages, but for a particular page, I want to use a little
bit differnent style for the navigation part.

Overriding just works as I expected without problemts, but I just want
to know it is a legal CSS way.

Absolutely. It's what the C in CSS is all about.

Looks like you invented the wheel ;-)
