Dear experts,

I have constructed an elementary external stylesheet that works Ok with
Internet Explorer. However, in Netscape Navigator the style seems not to be
imported. I gather I am making a silly mistake. Does anyone have a clou?

For an example of one of my pages look at:
http://home.wxs.nl/~jhelwig/bergh.htm

The contant of the linked style sheet is:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<--!
body {font-family:"times";
color:"#001070";
background: url(bg.gif);
background-color:"white"}
A:link {color:"#001070"}
A:visited {color:"#001070"}
A:active {color:"#E81F02"}
H1, H2 {color:"#E81F02"}
-->
</STYLE>

Have you tried removing the parentheses? I normally just specify color as
color: #ffffff; and the same goes for font-family, unless it has a multiword
name then it has to be placed in quotes.

Thank you very much Robert. It seems that you have pinpointed my mistake.
This makes my life as amateur webmaster a lot more easy.

Greetings,

Jan Helwig

I'm afraid it may be as simple as Netscape 4.7 doesn't work all the CSS
commands. The good news is that it looks like version 6 of netscape does.
