Otherwise, your example looks fine (remember the </HEAD>), It seems to only need the <style></style> tags in the included style sheet. > I would need to see the content of "style.sheet" to say what's wrong. Well, it was using the old style attribute names. I changed it to the new ones (font.color, back.color) and it works fine now. But I am having to rsh arena from our SunOS4 machine. The older 0.96s for Solaris x86 and Linux, the systems I am using for the authoring, don't understand the new style attributes, they understand the old names color.text and color.background. I wonder if I might be allowed to do the ports of the new Arena version to Solaris x86 and Linux. I'm also getting a handle on how the classes are done in the style sheet. This is really useful, not only to hint at the presentation, but also for showing more precisely what a tag means. address.street: font.color = #FFF; address.street: back.color = #000; address.email: font.color = #00C; <address class=street>7125 Riverwood Dr, Columbia, MD</address> <address class=email>Mike Batchelor <a href="mailto:mikebat@clark.net" <mikebat@clark.net></a></address> This very nicely highlights the difference between the two kinds of addresses, in the tags, and in the browser. Thanks everyone for your tips and your patience. -- %%%%%% mikebat@clark.net %%%%%% http://www.clark.net/pub/mikebat/www/ %%%%%% The more I use HTML v3, the less I like Netscape....
