I have a site that's fully coded and laid out with CSS, however Firefox isn't finding my stylesheet. Safari finds it just fine, not sure about IE - check it out:

Here's my code for the head:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Blue Devil Productions</title> <!-- BEGIN CSS STYLES -----> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/reset.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css" />
Any ideas? I tried playing with direct linking to the sheet, also taking out comments in the sheet, but nothing?

But you have the calls to
But you have the calls to stylesheets nested between invalid comment tags, so anything can happen. My version of FF seems to see them fine, but really, we have to have valid html or we have no reason to complain. Validate that html!

To expand
To expand on Ed's comment:
HTML comment delimiters are the double hyphens. Each pair toggles the comment on or off. You threw in an extra pair, which left comments on.
<!-- BEGIN CSS STYLES -----> ... <!-- END CSS STYLES -----> <!-- BEGIN CSS STYLES -- -- -> ^ ^ ^ ^ comment off on single on again hyphen ignored <!-- END CSS STYLES -- -- -> ^ ^ ^ ^ comment on off single off again hyphen ignored
