I thought css was a part of the actual page - not an external file:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/v3.css" type="text/css" media="all" />

How come?


(ps I am aware that this may actually have to go into the other category, but I guess that this is a part of this thread too.)

By the way - to just show my ability to take anything I may want from any site, here is the external .css file that the site had.

I have had to zip it, seeing as it is not compatible with this forum as an attachment.

Probably a template. If you'd like to make your site like this or better, search for 'free web templates' or variations thereof. :D

Yeah, that wasn't too difficult. Very clean site, by the way, and valid XHTML 1.1! Thickandthin, this site is a good example of proper code.

By the way: what about the design would you like to use in your own? They basically used tables for the outlines, just like you, and a bunch of divs for smaller bits. And lots of CSS. Nothing really spectacular, but very tasteful.
Graphics are mostly images used as table cell backgrounds; this is also done in the style sheet.

Zoobie, the meta tags mention Homesite as generator; it might be a template supplied with that package.

Nope I don't do that... I have certain abilities that is much quicker than that...

It's not very cross browser - good in IE and Moz, but a bit untidy in Opera and a complete dog's-dinner in Netscape 4

Oh? (IE here, so didn't notice) Where does it go wrong, the styles?

Basically yeah - it's very dependent on CSS values which NS4 doesn't support; such as "position:relative" for tables and "display:block" for any element.

The opera problems are just trivial things, like the search box being too tall, because opera 6 [deliberately] doesn't support much form styling
