It's commented out, are you sure that's the correct syntax for a stylesheet?
--Paul

This stylesheet works in HTML. May be the way I rewrote in CGI is not correct.

Try the script on the command line

If the output is as designed your script is fine

Check a static version of what you want against the generated version - debug

HTH
--Paul

Just a guess but, it looks like you are passing a cgi server'a relative location back to a client that probably doesn't have that file structure. You should give a complete

http://www url

so that the client page can come back to your server and retrieve the file and display it.

Thanks for your help. I will try them and see what happens.
