Re: style sheet works in only some browsers

Chip,

Don't know if this helps, but I always put a space before and after the {
and leave off the trailing ;

For instance:

p  { font-weight: normal;  font-size: medium; font-face: Verdana, Arial;
color: #000 }

not

p {font-weight: normal;
    font-size: medium;
          font-face: Verdana, Arial;
          color: #000;}

Just my .02
dale
