Can anyone help? The differences are really over the ease of use and reuse. If you link a stylesheet to a series of pages using <link>, it is easy to make centralised changes to the styles on all the pages. If you embed the stylesheet in each page using <style>, it is harder to make global changes. The other difference is that MSIE does not properly support linked stylesheets :-( as many formatting features only work when the stylesheet is locally embedded... Chris
