Ethan:

Thanks for the reply.  I have indeed turned netscape's caching off (0 for both disk and memory cache), and I have <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/css')"> in the top of the "stylesheet methods"

I am also sending two different stylesheets depending on the browser (IE or NS).  Don't ask why! :)

Anyway, I *think* I fixed the problem, even though I don't know what the root cause was.  I basically deleted the DTML method, and started adding and testing the styles one at a time.  I left out some of the other styles which I'm not using anymore and voila! everything worked.

I guess there was something in the styles I left out that was messing Netscape up, but for the life of me I can't figure out which one.

Andrew

You're saying that the NS stylesheet you're using now worked in
netscape?

Although I assume that you select for one or the other: you don't have a
link to the IE & NS stylesheets in the same page.

Have you added:

<dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/css')"> 

to the first line of global_css_NS?

Also, one problem you may be having is the way netscape caches LINK. 
For testing purposes, it's best to a. turn off NS's cache and/or b. set
it to zero.

Good luck,
