I'm afraid I seem to have missed the start of the thread. What's the
problem? I understand the whole external style sheet thing and may even be
able to explain it to you. Or at the very least help get your code to do
what you want it to. In at least one browser :)

The likelihood of HTML (all versions of which contain the design tags,
it's the incredibly similar XHTML which sees them go) ever being
unsupported by browsers is so incredibly slim that I'm not sure it's worth
contemplating.

Because CSS offers so much more flexibility? I've practically forgotten
how to do design in straight HTML :) (This is an offer of help if yo want
it.) CSS also lets the *reader* have more control over the look of the
site (after all, it's your reader who has to read it, shouldn't they have
a say in how it looks?). I'm not sure if that's by design or
implementation, though.
