I'd put the stylesheet in the 'static' dir then run 'generate_static' to
copy it accross into the 'html' dir.

Then make the URL of the stylesheet "/eprints.css" so that it always ↵
looks
in the basedir of the site and not the current dir.

Can you provide a live URL we can have a look at, if you still have problems.

eprints2 is being desgined to use stylesheets ALOT. I'm testing this with
netscape, mozilla & IE under Linux & Windows so it should look OK.

It would be possible to add some code to give the option of a different
style sheet for each browser/platform to optimise each but this would be
more for the admin to maintain. Comments?

All the <I> and <STRONG> should be replaced in ep2 with <SPAN ↵
class="whatever">

Hopefully I'll have a live demo server up soonish (end of July, *hopefully*).
