Well, it's a mystery to me. Maybe one of you can help me solve this. My styles disappeared. I've solved how to get them back. But I'd like to know why this happened.
In the Web site I've presently developing most of my files are of one layout and I have separate stylesheets that define the css. But I am creating a couple of different pages that are in a much more simple layout and don't need these stylesheets. On the main page of this simplified section I eliminated the <link> tags that go to the main css and put the few styles I need in the <head> section of the file. On the two subpages within this section I kept the link tags (no special reason --I'm just in the middle of development) but added a couple styles, also within the <head>. So, here's what happened: If I went into the site through the front door or directly to any page that used the main stylesheets all looked fine. When I went to the main simplified page it looked fine BUT when I went back to the main part of the site via a menu at the bottom of this page I lost all my styles for the site. The background image in the two child pages of the simplified parent also refused to show (again, even though I had links to the stylesheet with this background style). Eliminating the css link on the simplified parent page seemed to break all of this. I solved this problem by reinstating the link tags to my stylesheets on the simplified parent page. And now all works well. The css is not lost when returning to the main part of the site. So, what was happening? And the odd thing is that in Firefox (both on Macs and PCs) I cannot get the styles to show up, even though I've corrected the problem. I've emptied my cache and reset the personal settings (except for cookies). Doesn't help. Is there a cookie here? When I reset Safari (including cookies) my styles return to the main part of the site.
