Re: [css-d] Use of <> brackets

It's an easy mistake to make. Remember that CSS is a browser-side language, just like HTML and JavaScript. The code you're looking at on your server is not CSS code - it's a template (or PHP code, or whatever) that your server uses to *generate* HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The browser doesn't see

David, I don't know the cause of the problem, but I can offer a troubleshooting tip or two... First, forget about the content of your .tpl files. They are completely irrelevant. When troubleshooting a problem with HTML, CSS, or JavaScript code, the only thing that can affect the browser is what t
