CSS doesn't work after Library Item turned into SSI

#1

We have some library items (*.lbi) which contain simple tables of links
mainly. Everything is working fine. Lately I've been experimenting with
SSI because I think maintaining them won't entail every single page in
the site being updated. However things didn't turn out as expected.

For example, one of them is a header to be contained in every web page.
When an asp is created with the origianl header.lbi as an include
file, there are two problems:
1) There's an extra blank line at the top of the browser (IE) preceding
the header content
2) CSS doesn't work anymore. We are using a different color for links,
which now appear the regular blue in the asp.

Renaming or re-creating header.lbi as header.htm has no effect at all.

Here are some codes in the test asp

........
<link href="css/company.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>

<body bottommargin="0" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0"
rightmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">

.......

So am I missing something here? Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Make sure that ALL links in the include files are ROOT relative.

Can you show me the contents of header.htm?
