    stylesheet nightmare

    I have a simple site, for a friend. It has the usual first level files: index.html, styles.css, vrious pages that hook to a menu on the portal. also, several subfolders, with 1-4 pages each, also hooking to the css and working fine in all browser, on all platforms, except IE on the Mac,and in Windows.

    I was @importing two stylesheets: one, the main one, governed 99% of all pages, and the second ones (there are two alts) were used to modify one or two files per sub-folder.

    Here's what's happening now:

    The pages that had two css sheets linked, are getting zero formatting, they are just coming down the left margin in IE.

    However, pages in sub-folders, that do not use any second stylesheet, are rendering fine, everywhere.

    The site has zero formatting errors, for xhtml 1.0 Strict

    I tried skipping the second style sheets, so that the 'problem' pages would ONLY link to the main css stylesheet, still no go in IE.

    I tried moving the same pages, out of subfolders and onto the highest level, with direct links to the css, and still, no formatting, except an import of my graphic banner, and the rest was just degrading right down the left margin...

    How can this be? To Internet Explorer there should be no difference between the two pages, with the same @import target, on the same level, but there is.

    the site is www.dynamicexec utivecoaching.c om

    The 'problem' pages are the ones in sub-folders which are the links on the right-hand sidebar. The 'events' are wacked-out, the personalities passociated with events, in the same folders, are okay (So, the 'bio' pages work, but the events pages, don't.) There is something happening that seems to defy logic.

    I'm probably going to starve as a result of my stupidity, but I don't care about netscape 4... I just want this thing to work in IE, similarly to the way it works in Opera, Netscape, Safari, OmniWeb, Camino, Firefox, and Konqueror... already... heheh, any help or a clue as to what to read up on, whatever... I have an ulcer in development... thanks

    regards,

    Nobody cares about Netscape 4.
    You have comments around the CDATA sections. Is that getting commented out?
    Is it possible your server is serving IE differently than other browsers, ie, not just because of the conditional comments?

    I screwed up my dev computer tonight and it will take me a while to get everything set up again.
