I think Tamara pretty well answered this question. However, the point I was
"trying" to make here was that Netscape has it's problems with Style Sheets
and the content therein--not with the links to them. Or at least, that has
been my experience. However, I have NOT tested the pompous statement to any
length.

But--In fact, ALL the style sheets I use are external to the page. They are
all called as needed using something similar to the following:

 <.LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="temer-2.css" TYPE="text/css">

I was originally pointing out that sometimes, I use two or more style sheets
in the same page, ie: "temer-1.css", "temer-2.css", etc. etc.

I did--and do--this because the thing that impressed me about style sheets
was the ability to use them, much as you would use "styles" in a word
processor or page layout program. (A quick copy and paste of the tag calling
the style sheet allows one to change styles as often as you want.)

I copied the above tag from the help files of a CoffeeCup Style Sheet Maker
and it seems to work. BUT, at times -- I have tried to include some, (read -
many), attributes within a style sheet that Netscape has ignored. Of course,
Netscape pretty much ignores the same things if they were part of standard
HTML.

And BTW--one has to start sometime--so I in turn, pretty much ignore any
version of Netscape prior to 4x. It seems to me there is plenty to worry
about with Bobby, Opera and Web-TV, etc. without losing sleep over obsolete
browsers whose current share of the web is insignificant. (Less than one
percent!)

Others of course, may set their priorities differently ...

Best wishes
Ted
