that is incorrect. they are all blue, visited is redish like all other "normal" links in the text > Links on the pages are blue and underlined.

Is that due to NS4 not inheriting correctly? yes, that's excatly the reason. ns4 _does not_ (always) inherit correctly! > What I know for sure is that the style sheet needs to > be reviewed and cleaned up, since things were added there sporadically and > it's a bit of a mess. this is true but i am +2002 for NOT cleaning the style sheet before the site is done. ./allan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
