Re: problem importing style sheets

Hello:

From what I have read and tried, the "@import" method of including
styles is not yet supported by any browser (I haven't tried IE 4 yet).
So that narrows your options to the LINK tag, and inline or <HEAD>
styles.  

For the BODY selector, you need to change the property that you are
using -- it should be:
background-color: #993300
       NOT
background: #993300 

I've made that mistake myself. Don't assume that the attribute names
that we are accustomed to in HTML are the same for style sheet
properties.

Everything else appears to be fine. You did not include the code you
used for the <LINK> tag, so I cannot see if there is a problem there. 
The tag I usually use looks like this:
<LINK REL="STYLESHEET" TYPE="text/css" HREF="directory/filename.css">

Hope this helps,

Glenn
