you have = signs where colons should be. About the import and the link. I tend to use the way of importing stylesheets. I haven't had to use the import( it is not fully supported in NS4.

Which is the best method to use, either by standard or browser compatibility.
The @import way is a more recent invention and so is not supported by older browsers like Netscape 4.x.
However this is a good thing as you can then have two different style sheets, one for Netscape 4.x and one for more recent browsers. Netscape 4.x will ignore the @import line and so effectively ignore the more modern CSS file. Modern browsers will pick up both links, but if you place the @import after the link rel="stylesheet" href="my.css" line then the @import overrides the older one.
Useful stuff for browser compatibility problems.
So to answer your question: Both are perfectly acceptable, but really for now only use @import if you know what you are doing.

Ditch the equal signs (font-size=18pt) and go back to using the colon (font-size:18pt)

Great. I will start using this method as I am only targeting my own machine using IE 6.0 as I learn.

Damn. Maybe I should rethink my last paragraph.

Moron. How did I get those ='s there when the example I am copying off has :'s.
Also after closer examination the colour and font are not appearing. It is as though the line
h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,p { color:#4242FF; font-family:Verdana; }is not being recognised.

Odd, I cut and paste that into a CSS file of mine and it works fine (does a blue colour.)
Email the full CSS file and the HTML which is referencing the CSS file and maybe I can see something else wrong with it.

The best method is <link>. Remember if you start using XHTML that it must translate into <link />, as it is an empty tag.
For the second part, change all the = signs to colons ( : ). Also, points (pt) is a bad unit to use for screen, because it is meant as a typographical percentage of inches to be displayed on paper or something like that. There was an article somewhere on this, but I seem to have lost it, so just take my word for it an always use pixels (px).
Well, there you are! Have fun!

I just copied your sample, stuck it betwixt a STYLE tag pair in the head section, replaced the = with : and tested it. It works perfectly in IE6.

I am replying to your post as it is the last in the thread and anyone reading through it will get the answer as they work their way down.
What I didn't include in my little CSS example were the inane comments I had included to remind me how to comment. According to the little booklet I am reading
// Are used for single line comments
/* */ Are used for multiple line comment blocks
Of course I was using the // style which thanks to Paul Watson I now know are not compatible with CSS. Changed to /* */ and all works like a bought one.

A customer wanted a form to email him at home, so I banged out a script to do so. Much to my surprise, it worked the first time (I've never tried it before). In the script I use a CreateObject() function to generate a new Mail object, and when it's all assembled I use Mail.Send to cast it forth upon the ether. A nagging thought I'm having is, what happens to that Mail object after the message is sent? What is its lifetime? Should I follow the send command with a Set Mail = Nothing statement to ensure its release?

It is always a good Idea to set your object to nothing when finished. In ASP unless otherwise set Objects have page scope. That is to say if you create the object on the page when the page is finished being used the objects will be cleaned up.

That seemed likely, but VBS is new to me. Better to form good habits now, than to try to break bad ones later... Thanks for the info

I am attempting to move my old asp code over to asp.net but have run into the following problem. Inside a class page I am trying to get the host address. The Request.UserHostAddress function works perfect in the aspx page but will not work in the vb class. This is because Request is part of the Page method which is not available to classes. The obvious work around is to pass in the address from the aspx page, but I would like to know if there is a better way this could be done. I appreciate any help that can be provided.
Thanks
Jason

Why do you continue to ask PHP questions in a forum about HTML/ASP/ASP.NET? 
You might get a better response by finding a PHP forum.

This is obviously a site and forum dedicated primarily to MS technologies. You will get better responses by searching a PHP oriented site.

Or by not deleting the post so that when someone who actually knows PHP stops by can answer it. What's the question and who asked it?

me.
i noticed a function, unset, and wondered if you were supposed to use it to destroy variables at the end of functions.

You can use unset() to explicitly destroy variables, but variables are destroyed at the end of the life of their scope anyway. So, unless they are static or have global scope they'll be cleaned up at the end of the function. For instance, if I use a local variable $foo in the function bar, it'll be destroyed anyway when bar returns.
In short, you don't have to. And, you'll find this method of variable handling holds true in many languages other than just PHP.

Hmmm...ok, I'm stumped here, reading Professional ASP.NET from Wrox and it says in Ch. 23 that to get the IP address of the user from the Request object you use UserHostAddress and to get the browser you should use UserAgent, however I can't get either to work at all, does anyone have any clues, the only example I have seen is a really ugly iteration of Request.ServerVariables through several arrays which I feel is a tid bit much. Where am I going wrong here?  Thanks in advance.

Actually Mazy, I am pretty happy with it so far, there are a lot of examples, just not quite sure why I can't get the above to work. I will figure it out eventually, hopefully sooner than later though.

The Request.UserAgent and Request.UserHostAddress should work fine.
Try creating a file called "test.aspx", and paste in the following:
<script language="vb" runat="server">
Sub Page_Load(Sender As Object, E As EventArgs)
Response.Write(Request.UserAgent & "<br />")
Response.Write(Request.UserHostAddress & "<br />")
End Sub
</script>
Load that page and see what happens. On my machine, the response is:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)
127.0.0.1
