However, if it is even remotely related, I thought the OP might want to know, you can use CFINCLUDE to deliver your CSS files in the head of your pages. I do this to reduce the number of http requests and also because it solves the problem of a user saving the page locally just as well as using a full qualified path in the head of the page would. <html> <head> <cfinclude template="/style/style.css"> </head> etc. In the CSS file, nothing changes - nothing. This lets CF deliver the entire page in one http request, and keeps the style in line. In testing, this actually sped up my page loads. 126 kb front page in 0.236 seconds. Not cfinclud'ing the CSS makes no difference on the file size or data size delivered to the browser. And if you are concerned about the local client caching the CSS file versus serving the content up each time with cfinclude, don't. Even Yahoo confirmed internally that you will see less delay and reduce network bottlenecks (yours and your customers') with fewer http requests. And with BD, I am caching some pages anyway, so there is (at least perceptually) no impact. _____________ Derrick Peavy Sales and Web Services CollegeClassifieds.com http://www.collegeclassifieds.com <http://www.collegeclassifieds.com> A Service of Universal Advertising, inc. ___________________________________ On Mar 16, 2007, at 7:53 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Ironic thread - considering Dean's signature quote: "What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant."
