I can see what you are saying here, and I have the line in my
<head></head> block that reads:
<link> rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" name="cssname.php"</link>
which is what I think you are saying but when the file name ends in .php
it seemingly ignores the "type" statement so I guess PHP must be sending
out different mime type headers, and it looks like I will have to do as
Amos suggests.
