Thanks for the above, worked a treat. Now I'm sure it's something I've done and I've copied your code exactly but if I leave the style sheet embedded exactly as you have done it works fine: http://beta.bedazzled.name/ But if I use an external sheet it breaks: http://beta.bedazzled.name/external_style_sheet/ I can't for the life of me see any difference why it should do this? I'll keep the style sheets embedded but I'd prefer not to to avoid code bloat. Again thanks for your help and the solution to my problem.
