How would i get an external css to load without using javascript, that is if a browser or user disabled javascript how could i get that file still do the job without having to add all its contents into the page itself?

Any ideas????

There is no direct connection between external CSS style sheets and javascript, unless you are using js to write the <LINK> tag dynamically.

Hi DIV1,

The link to an exterior CSS .css file needs only HTML head elements to get the cascade initialized by the parser-browser, try this with your .css file propely formated (this can be validated at the W3 wed-site) and properly linked to it should generate the style as the page is parsed:

<HEAD>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Style-Type" CONTENT="text/css">
<LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="style.css" TYPE="text/css" MEDIA=screen>

The META tags are like parser "grease" for this. If js is implemented add some variations of this general set to get the js initialized in the parsing cascade-tree.The META tags are like parser "grease" for this.

Puting the css ref in the <link> tag worked great, thanks to you all for responding.:D
