Thanks, Bruno. That both works and doesn't work. In Safari, the two
#hd styles are being merged. Activating Safari's Develop menu lets me
see what styles they are applying to a DOM element, and they clearly
indicate they are getting two #hd, one from each file. I don't know if
Firefox or IE are doing that too. I can be clever and apply the same
styles inside #hd as you do, but in ways that cancel CE's. So if CE's
says
#hd{border-top: 4px solid #780000;}
then I have to do
#hd{border-top: 0px solid #780000;}
and make it 0px high, and then I get the behavior I want (which is to
not have the red stripe).
This works in Firefox too.
