Hi Jeff,
This is totally OT for a PHP list but I'll give you an answer.
CSS has rules of precedence. When a browser is looking at a html page
for styles it first looks for external style sheets, just like you said
you have, then it looks for style tags in the <head>...</head> section
of the page, finally the browser looks at individual tags, <div>'s <p>'s
whatever. The browser will then use the style rules which are closest
to the tag, therefore external rules are overridden by style tags in the
<head> section of a page which are overridden by style rules embedded
into actual tags. e.g. <hr color='red' align='center'>.
Hope that clarifies.
David
