The stylesheet for more nearly conformant browsers is getting stuck in cache and sent to IE3, which chokes on it. This is a known liability of the project, to be addressed in the upcoming revision (yes, i know, you've heard this before). Meanwhile, if you're willing and able to muss up your pages to accommodate IE3, you can try some of the IE3-specific workarounds listed from http://css.nu/pointers/ . Or you can advise IE3 users in your organization to upgrade (to most anything except NS4.x) or turn stylesheet "support" off in their browsers. -- Todd Fahrner http://style.metrius.com/ The printed page transcends space and time.
