Why do people keep thinking that HTML documents must come with their own fancy formatting? People forget what the T stands for. If you just write text with structural markup, as HTML was originally designed to do, then pretty much every browser manages to render it legibly. Readers can even (shock, horror) have it formatted the way *they* prefer, for reading, rather than how the document *author* prefers to read it. Your base.css also commits the cardinal sin of setting a foreground colour (for anchors) without also setting the corresponding background colour. Your foreground and an arbitrary reader's default background don't necessarily make a visible contrast. >By the way, if you have an Accept header preferring text/plain over >text/html, you'll get >the text version back. Cute. Turns out Lynx rates them equally, and you're sending text/plain in that case. -zefram
