} This way you can use a default format for all the pages and create minor (or major) changes in the theme in no time :) I would also suggest to attach the CSS filename reference at the <head> tag the update time of the file, so that the browser will automatically update the cache of the CSS whenever you decide to edit it. Just my 2 cents ;)

Oh, I think it's worth a lot more than that. I just installed IE 8 just to have it for verification. It's no better than IE 6. I never use them personally. But how do you produce interesting web pages to look well on both without making stupid compromises. What looks well on Firefox, looks like MSshit on IE.

The way you do it is to keep it simple. If you use a different style sheet for every page, then not only does that cause more load times, but it confuses the Hell out of things, in my opinion. Style sheets are meant simplify things so decide on how you want things to look uniformly throughout your site and then stick with it. There's really no good reason to keep changing things throughout a site. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
