Hi Iain

I have a feeling that the server may not be set up correctly to
interpret the css file, read this article:

http://devedge-temp.mozilla.org/viewsource/2002/incorrect-mime-types/

You should test the page in Internet Explorer because that will usually
pass an incorrect mime type file. I don't have IE on this computer to do
a test.

However it does not pick up the css file in Safari either, so I'm not
sure that the above applies as Safari to my knowledge doesn't use the
Gecko browser engine to display files.

The link to your css on the 'about us' page is technically in the wrong
place. It should not be in the page title editable region but after it.
But your other pages show the link in the correct position yet they
still do not see the css styles.

I'm just going to do a couple more tests on my own server to see what
happens.

ok simple one, you're missing a closing bracket after a:hover, put one
in as below:

a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 100%;
}

You have errors on the page - fix them!

Lots more than that. Duplicate ID values will screw things good.

Duplicate ID's won't stop the css from working. Once the bracket is
inserted the page will work just fine, however the html should be clean
up because it may cause conflict at a later stage.

It sure can.

That's not my opinion. Multiple Id's will conflict in the case of using
javascript but I've never seen it in regards to referencing css.

It's not good practice to use multiple instances of Id's on a page but
that wasn't the problem with this particular project.
