Hello Fuzzy,

Opera5, IE 5.5/6 and Netscape6 show "linked" stylesheets
Why don't you use 2 stylesheets?
One for styles you have in the whole site (a) and one that overwrites the
styles needed for a special page?(b) You link them both in the same way.
First a and then b to overwrite the special styles for the page you need
these. That will save much of your time.. .
I use javascript for linking an "easier" stylesheet for Netscape 4 and
WebTV..  Yes I have 3 stylesheets for most pages.. and it works very well.

Greetings
Ineke van der Maat
