Ah, got it - I hadn;t reached it yet when i replied :-)

So when (other than in this case) should i use the @import over <link> for a
css?

I have seen it before, but not commonly used - hey, maybe i could look that
one up!

Currently, i've set a variable "DOM", depending on whether GetElementById
works, and check that for NS4 exclusions:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------
//Well Bob, Can You Do It?
var DOM
  DOM = document.getElementById?true:false;
  if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera")>0 ||
navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE4")>0) DOM=false;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------
(Code that i didn;t write -but i know Opera has such limited support of the
DOM (in the bits i want, at least) i treat it as "no support".

Comments on this approach welcome :-)
