in reply to Included cgi does not get CSS formatted?

Assuming html 4.01 (loose or strict), your head section needs these:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/foo.css">

Note type is 'text/css', not 'text/html' (single or double quotes, your choice), and the link rel line, which you can do manually, or find the appropriate CGI method in the docs.

You may gain more insight by reading the html in the .inc file or at w3c.org, w3cschools.org, etc.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">

You only need this if you use the style attribute - and you are usually best off avoiding that in favour of real stylesheets.

w3cschools.org

W3Schools is unfortunately popular. It seems to get a lot of traffic by trading off the closeness of its name to that of the W3C and a significant number of people are surprised to find that they aren't the same organisation.

Sadly, it is more than a little error prone and its examples have a tendency to run as far away from best practice as possible.

The specifications at the W3C are good, and Opera has a good set of tutorials. I would suggest using these instead.
