Hi there Scuse any netiquette errors - I'm new to mailing lists so I'm a bit shaky on the rules. Use an external style sheet to hold your css information then all you need to do is add the following line to your perl code in the head tags in the html output <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css" /> to put this into a perl context print <<endofhtm; Content-type:text/html <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css" /> </head> <body> ****output of search results here**** </body> </html> endofhtm mystyle.css is basically just a text file containing your style sheet info. You can add the style reference to any html output to apply the same style to any document. It also allows you to update your whole site with a new style sheet just by editing one document.
