Hi Andrew,

IE5 seems to be a complete pig for not it clearing its cache (I've
witnessed it stubbornly hanging onto an obsolete style sheet after
emptying the cache, quitting, relaunching *and* forcing a reload). Is
it possible that the client is seeing a previous version of the css?
Is the client seeing *any* styles or are they getting an unformatted
page? The easiest way to check that the server has the right version
(and that's it's in the right place) is to open the .css into the
browser.

Hope this helps, feel free to send the offending URL if it doesn't...
