So, did it work? I'm running Mozilla on my linux box at home so I can't tell you how your changes take effect until I'm in the office (back on the dreaded MS machine ) tomorrow.

thanks

thanks alot for the help.. I have never had a problem with defining the font family twice but i guess they are getting more strict with that stuff now. I found out that it looks fine on some pcs running IE6 while others it gets all messed up.. I still havn't figured this one out.

thanks again

OK. I get you. You don't want the text to be padded out as much as it does in IE6?

Um. Just downloaded your style sheet, and you've actually got this in there now:

.bodytext {
	font-size : 12px;
	font-family : Arial;
	color : #703A38;
	font-weight: bold;
	font-family: sans-serif;
	
}

Can you see where you're going wrong? I'm sure defining the font-family twice is confusing poor old IE6.

Try this instead...

.bodytext { text-decoration: none;
            color: #703A38; 
            font-weight: bold;
            font-family: "Arial, Helvetica"; 
            font-size: 12px; 
}

Hope that helps. I haven't tried it, but it should make more sense.

Clear your browsers cache after making the changes. Although, if IE6 follows it's tech specs correctly it should never cache external style sheets. But I wouldn't trust MS on that one

Cheers

I don't have IE 6 but in IE 5.5, NS 4.78 and Opera 5.12, it displays fine.

Cache problem or a problem with IE 6 on that particular machine maybe?

What's your problem? Looks fine in IE6, Mozilla .9.6.

its an extremely simple stylesheet.. which is what is disturbing me the most..

.bodytext{
color : #9999FF;
font-family : arial;
font-size : 12px;

}
