For some reason I cannot understand, the text on the page renders white (as intended) in IE6/Win2K and blue (!!! -- like #00FFFF, I think) in NS4.7/Win2K. What am I missing? Go easy, I'm still learning the cascade :) Please take a look at: http://www1.jump.net/~cantone/test.html the linked stylesheet is http://www.jump.net/~cantone/css/style.css There is one style element on test.html that should precede any styles in style.css (it's not overriding any declarations, nor is it intended to) <style><!-- .this { color: "#FFFFFF"; size: "xx-large"; } --> </style> <span class="this">Why ...... blue?!)</span> Thanks, -- Carl cantone at austin.rr.com
