Thanks for the response, let me see if this makes things clearer. I'm not getting an error message, but the formatting changes to the DocBook XSL (by means of my CSS) do not appear in the browser.
The URL: http://myserver:8080/cocoon/book/book This succeeds in calling the document. When I view the source of the displayed HTML, the link to the CSS stylesheet appears: <link href="book.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> Therefore, I expect the changes to appear, but they do not. The CSS is in the same directory ("book") as the XML source ("book.xml") the XSL stylesheet ("book.xsl") and the CSS ("book.css") I have not tried Lionel's suggestions yet, but will do so. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joerg Heinicke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 28, 2003 10:19 AM Subject: Re: Newbie question about CSS display > Hello Joe, > > you don't give very exact error description, only "it does not work".
