NS just really doesn't like underscores in filenames for links to stylesheets.

As pbaugher pointed out, if your stylesheet resides in a directory called _private you should probably move it to another directory. Maybe something like style, or stylesheet.

_private

Could it be this directory? _private is usually a hidden directory.

This is just a hunch, but most likely u have spelled something wrong. Netscape is very "thight" requiring the same cases (a=a, not a=A) and spelling in elements and paths. It could very well be the underscore in href that is causing all the headache(ns has some problems with it in some cases)...

No, I was curious about that, so I downloaded his page, brought it into homesite and put the stylesheet into the page itself rather than using it externally and it's working that way. It's got to have something to do with the way its linked ... I don't know!

Could be the quotes and order, just use:

a:link.nav {color: red;}
or
a:link.nav {color: #FF0000;}

etc

note the a:link is first

then on your link, add class="nav"

and you dont need to use title="Global" in the link rel=stylesheet tag

Thnx for the reply Megan...anyone know why the NS 6.1 doesn't like the style link? I'm using the following format to link the style sheet to each page. The link is place between the & tags:

Any ideas?

Your link to the external stylesheet isn't working in NS 6.1 for some reason - I don't know why.

What you need to do is define different classes of links. You'll leave this the way it is to define your general links, then you'll define a second set of links using classes, so you'll have:

a { text-decoration: none; }
a:link { color:"red"; }
a:visited { color:"red"; }
a:hover { color:"#03403C"; text-decoration: underline; }

a.nav { text-decoration: none; }
a.nav:link { color:"something"; }
a.nav:visited { color:"something"; }
a.nav:hover { color:"something else"; text-decoration: underline; }

Then your nav links will look like this:

Link Name

Cracked It...

Never mind I've sussed it with a little help form Builder.com.

I've just added the class="nav" attribute to the table containing the links I want to be different and added the lines:

.nav
a:link { color:"white"; }
a:visited { color:"#03403C"; }
a:hover { color:"#03403C"; text-decoration: underline; }

Thought it was simple!
