Thanks Ian, Yes, it does work with the full URL: it works fine in the body, but doesn't validate. The reason for including it in the body is so I can have a single include come from the third party, being called in the body of the document, which contains all HTML and styles for their nav. This would keep things a little cleaner instead of me adding their style sheet to the header of every single HTML page, as well as their navigation include to the body of the page. Would rather the style sheet was part of their include.
Hope that makes sense?

However, if you use the complete URL from third part that will work. ie <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="http://www.clientdomain.com/include/styles.css"/> However, I am being totally thick here as I am still not sure what you are trying to achieve.
