Okay... you could look around some of the threads 'till you see "cscgal" as a poster... simply click on the name (cscgal), and a little dropdown should appear... oneof the options is "send a private message to..."
You should be able to figure it from there

novel!
okay... if you are in windows, you can change the option to view file Extensions... and replace whatever it is called with ".txt" or ".css".
Alternatively, if you right click on the file and go to properties, you should have an option to change association... so change it from FF to notepad.
Alternatively, you can right click on see ifyou get a menu option for "open with"... notepad may be in there... or you can then opt for "choose" and scroll down to notepad
Let me know if it works.

It happens... no matter how long you've been doing it!
the trick is to look for stupid mistakes first!
you'd be amazed how many do a minor change... then send ages wonderig why it doesn't work...
so Validate as you go!
Every little thing you alter, pass to a validator, as it willhelp catch any mistakes, and save you ages of screaming, shouting and rippig out hair!

Thanks for the tip on the Validation service, Autocrat. Also, I really liked the examples of Typography on the Mezzo site. I was wondering if you (or anybody) knows of threads dedicated to links of cool stuff to check out.
Happy days to all

Well, I gave you one list all... but some others to include as...
Useful sources...
http://pmob.co.uk
www.456bereastreet.com
http://bitesizestandards.com
Examples of differing CSS for thesame Markup
www.csszengarden.com
A good source of possibles...
http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/learning
Plus the basics, from the origins...
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_examples.asp
Personally, I strongly recommend trauling through the W3 site and copying out their tables for CSS - I made a word document of around 9 pages when I first started so that I could have an on hand reference ....
....then I went and made a little document with "Tips & Tricks" and everytime I found a useful method, or notes on how to overcome a problem, I would try it, and when I got it workig and think I understood it, would write it up and print it out.... I got around 16 Tips & Tricks within 3 weeks - and I printed them out too.
If you play around, you may find different ways to do things - the darn thing about CSS is alot of thefixes or techniques are reliant upon what is already in place... so sometimes a clever bit ofcodewon't work for you due to previous properties.
So, once you hae a technique or method you like that seems to work on multiple browsers.... make a note of it in a word doc etc.... and keep it (date it too ).
