Hi John
My problem is that I use a CMS to work on the site. This CMS use a
template html file and a template css file. It automatically insert
the css template into the html template, but I also did it so the
stylesheet where present twice !
I saw my mistake when I tried to see if there was another stylesheet
that could cause this behaviour. I click on the stylesheet name to
drop down the menu, and I saw the stylesheet name twice. And I was
able to switch between the two stylesheets : the modified one and the
other one.
I think the problem could have been avoided if I had an error in the
error console (or at least a warning). Web standards don't say
anything about inserting the same stylesheet twice ?

Thanks for your interest.
Fabien
