Hi, I’m extensively designing a site with CSS and trying to keep the Xhtml Standard up. One question though.

Right now, when the site is opened in a browsers who doesn’t cached the site, the html is loaded first, and the css afterwards, causing some strange loadup effects. Is there a way I could specify the html to wait until the css is loaded, to load the info afterwards?

Thanks
