Style sheets problem

[gokeeffe]

Here's my problem I have a website that I have nearly

completed, but one very annoying aspect is that, when you

go to the website it takes a few seconds, depending on the

internet speed for the page to render correctly because I

assume it is looking for my .css file with the styles. Is

the only solution to this putting the corresponding style

code in the index page so it doesn't have to go looking

for it. Or is the a better workaround as this defeats the

purpose of having all the style in one sheet.

using a

screen with

a width of

or less?

Where is the website?

Are you using <link> tags or @import to include your stylesheet?
I believe @import will take longer, if you switch to using <link> then you may get rid of the problem. I think this is because @import acts as an over-ride on the browser's own stylesheet.

It is better to use an external sheet as this will be cached by a browser and so improve speed on the rest of the site.

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="./style.css" />

Tks for the help guys, using the link instead of import

totally resolved the problem.

Very happy

It's the small things that make all the difference
