Hi Ken,

There may be other way, but here's how I do it in Win2k:

I have set the .css extension to always open in Notepad.

Go into the sourcode. You should see one or more references to a .css
file. The file could be linked or imported. Here is a linked one:
<link href="mystyles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

>From the href, you can deduce that the style sheet is in the same folder
as the page you are on. So if the page you are on is:
http://www.mysite.com/foobar.html

Then the css file is here:
http://www.mysite.com/mystyles.css

If I enter that URL in my browser's address bar, then the css file will
open for me in Notepad. If the contents of the file look funny (strange
characters) that simply indicates that a particular server or OS was
used and to make the file more readable I bring it into a program that
can parse style sheets. Dreamweaver, StyleMaster, or TopStyle are
examples of programs that can parse.

Hope this helps!
