Duplicate CSS entries

[Jimdeb03]

I'm making changes to an existing website that uses CSS. Once sheet has duplicate Selector entries that has identical declarations

#Content {
...
...
}

#Content {
...
...
}

So I'm thinking why have two so I remove one (either one)where parts of the page blows chunks. Replace it and everything's ok.

There's also in the CSS...
#Content fieldset {
...
...
}

Can someone help explain why this occurs for having duplicate entries seems awfully confusing to code.
thanks,

Jim,

I can't think of any reason removing one of the duplicate entries would make the page layout break.

Can you post the CSS and HTML code?

If everything in those duplicate sections are exactly the same then removing one would not make an impact. However, if there's differences then the second one would add to and/or overwrite those in the first.
