Hi,
I think I have a pretty unique problem. Recently, I have created a site for a French client of mine with dropped down menu by using Dreamweaver script with an external style sheets controlling the css within the dropped down menu. Everything works fine on either PC or Mac's safari in UK. But my client could not see the css formating at all in France. They are using IE V6 and I have check that they have enable css in their browsers and still no luck. Can anyone please help
.
Thanks in advanced.

</head>I haven't had a chance to study it, but you have A:hover defined twice, and in the first one the quotes should be around Times New Roman and not the remainder of the font families. Not that is the likely problem, but it's a start.Have you checked the pages with the w3.org's CSS Validator (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/">http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/</a><!-- m -->) and HTML Validator (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://validator.w3.org/">http://validator.w3.org/</a><!-- m -->)?Run it through the html validator (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.corkexpress.co.uk%2Fclosel%2FFAQS%2FxtraPages.asp%3Fpg%3Dn%26pl%3D2&charset=iso-8859-1+%28Western+Europe%29&verbose=1">http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% ... &verbose=1</a><!-- m -->) 114 errors
