I just took a quick look at your first link.  Do you have IE6 or IE 8?  Could be the problem?

To: freepages-help@rootsweb.com Date: Sunday, February 13, 2011, 2:06 PM Ok I've given up for now trying to get my local server to show the includes files.  Very frustrating but they just will not show.  I also downloaded the newest WAMP to see if that was the problem.  No luck... (sigh) Anyway I put my templates into a test site on rootsweb.  I'm having trouble getting the includes to pick up the css. This is how the sidebar links should look. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kmills/test/Test2/ And no I don't have dreamweaver :) a friend made the template for me when I thought my program might have been causing the includes errors. Anyway once I move the menu to an includes the formatting looks like this: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kmills/test/index.html All I had done was copy the same menu links in the index.html file and put them into a txt file for the includes. The code in the index to call the menu is <div class="sidebar1"> <!--#include virtual="includes/leftmenu.txt" --> <!-- end .sidebar1 --></div> and the code in the includes is: <div id="sidebar1">Site Navigation</div> <ul id="nav">   <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>   <li><a href="#">Link two</a></li>   <li><a href="#">Link three</a></li>   <li><a href="#">Link four</a></li> </ul> I must be over looking something simple. I need them to pick up the styling like they did before moving the code to the includes.  So then I can finish editing the css to get the colors/look I want. Any  help is much appreciated!
