Here is a link to the demo: [a href=\"http://designx.biz/index.php\" target=\"_blank\"]http://designx.biz/index.php[/a]

If you open the above link in Firefox, you can change the font and background color.

If you open the above link in Internet Explorer, you cannot change the font and background color.

[b]This is driving me nuts, can anyone help me?[/b]

[!--quoteo(post=377932:date=May 28 2006, 08:07 PM:name=poirot)--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE(poirot @ May 28 2006, 08:07 PM) [snapback]377932[/snapback][/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]I think it's because you are using aleternative style sheets to set the font/color. So probably IE keeps using the main CSS.[/quote]You are right on the money. I changed rel="alternate stylesheet" to rel="stylesheet" and now it works perfectly in IE and Firefox. Thanks!
