CSS Style sheet is slow to load - help

I'm using CSS for style and positioning. I have this information in my style.css file. I import the file into my html file with this code:

PHP Code:


		
			
<head>

<style type="text/css" title="currentStyle">

        @import "style2.css";

</style>

</head>

When calling the page with the MS Internet Explorer, it first writes all the text out unformatted and then it applies the format. I know it does it this way because I can see it. It is too slow.

Sometimes, it's just a flash, other times it's a whole second or two.

Regardless, I don't even want to notice the flash from unformatted to formatted. I notice that other pages don't seem to do this. How do I accomplish this? What am I doing wrong?

I figured itout

I figured it out. That "More Related Threads" on the bottom was very helpful. It suggestedthis thread .

I replaced the above code with:

PHP Code:


		
			
<head>

     <link rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" href="style2.css">

</head>

Cliffhanger9, I have no idea what the @ thing was all about. It was code I learned from a tutorial or from Zen Garden.

trebbettes, I couldn't get your code to work by replacing rel="stylesheet" with rel="style2.css". It just gave me an unformatted page. Did I do something wrong?

This new code seems to work well with MS IE. I don't know about Netscape or Mozilla though.
