Yes - older browsers can't, > but they do not support embed, however. Certainly, but very few users bother with the tiresome 'Save page and all its resources' option. The point is is that to the user viewing the page online, they do not realise that the style sheet is linked, and they should not, if the author wishes, have to know about these things if viewing offline. [[[[[[[[[[end quote]]]]]]]]]] They don't have to. They can see the HTML page just fine even without the stylesheet, if the page was written properly. Michael Hamm BA, Math, Sept.
