Hi Tre,

Your linked style sheet does not validate:

<style type="text/css">
<!-- 
BODY {background-image: url(background.gif); background-repeat: repeat; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 5px; font-family: "Verdana", "Arial", sans-serif;}
.footer {font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; color: #999999; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 50px;}
        
-->
</style>

When you have your styles in an *external* linked style sheet,
you should *remove* the style element, like this:


BODY {background-image: url(background.gif); background-repeat: repeat; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 5px; font-family: "Verdana", "Arial", sans-serif;}
.footer {font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; color: #999999; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 50px;}

HTH :)


Regards,
Gerhard
