    Question How do you insert your CSS ?

    I´m using 2 different approach:

    <style type="text/css">@import url(style.css);</style>

    or

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />

    The first is great, also because older browsers will get a text version of the site, which is fully "operational", just without the stylesheet, but I do have a problem with this approach, since validated sites in Windows 2000, tend to load the stylesheet after ½ second or so. This applies only for IE.

    The second approach doesn´t have that problem, but the downside is that older browsers will just see a messy site, instead of a clean text version of the site.

    How do you insert your CSS ?

    I use the second one, then put only the @import function inside it to load the actual style-sheet.

    I just use the second method. When I tested my page in NN4 it just got spit out plain so I doubt the "@import" method is really necessary.
