Indeed > The problem with an external stylesheet is that it displays the > background on some pages but not on others That is most likely due to the property either being overridden for those pages, or for those pages not including any element which matches the selector. (Another possibility is that the website is inconsistent with its Doctype causing some pages to trigger standards mode while others don't, and the style sheet being served with the wrong Content-type header). Of course this is mearly guesswork as I don't see a URL, but there is no reason for _random_ working/not working. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk
