Not Jon, but just in case you are anxiously awaiting a reply: If you use the @import rule to import your style sheets because various browsers have differing levels of support for it, it can be used to hide styles from "non-compliant" browsers in lieu of using java script sniffing and serving separate style sheets.
@import url(styles/mystylesheet.css) ; will block NN4.x, I.E.3.x (Windows), iCab 2.51 (Mac), Konqueror 2.12 and Amaya 5.1 (Windows). NB some versions of NN will crash when 'seeing' an @import rule, I have got a table somewhere of browser support for the @import rule: if anyone is interested shout and I will post it (when I find it, lol) hth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Joyce" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 6:22 AM Subject: [wdvltalk] RE: vertical spacing > > > > > http://www.odihpn.org/revamp/index.htm > > > > > I can't for the life of me to get the top row on this page > > > > > smaller unless I take out the drop down menu.
