    Print CSS Not Loading

    alt.html pointed me here, so...

    I have two CSS files for print and screen. In screen.css:

    ..screen
    {
    font-weight:bold;
    font-size:12px;

    }

    ..print
    {
    visibility:hidd en;

    }

    In the HTML:

    <html>
    <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet " type="text/css" media="print"
    href="print.css " /

    <link rel="stylesheet " type="text/css" media="screen"
    href="screen.cs s" />
    </head>
    <body>
    <font class="screen"> Text A</font><br><font class="print">T ext B</
    font>

    [etc.]

    In print.css, the parameters are swapped. In other words, Text B will
    show on the printed page, but not on screen, and vice-versa for Text
    A.

    But as it stands now, it's not quite working. On "screen," it looks
    OK; hidden text is hidden, shown text is shown. When printed in
    Firefox 2, though, the output looks no different from on "screen." I'm
    stumped why this is, and so is everyone else I've shown this to. Any
    ideas?

          You've left out too much context to give an answer.
          Please provide an URL to a test case that demonstrates the problem.

              One reason why it's better to give a URL than to post code. No one
              here can say if that's an error in copy/paste or in your original page,
              but this link element isn't closed. And unless you're doing XHTML,
              just use ">" and not "/>". A validator would help you find a problem
              like that immediately.

                  Indeed.

                  Technically, it is.

                  No, it would not. Try it. The link element's markup is valid, HTML 4.01.

                  It's time for a rerun of the Saga of the Slashed Validators:
                  http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/qattr.html

                  (even though it mainly discusses variants like <a href=../foo.html>, which
                  can be even more deceptive).
