Christopher , this is what I'm sure of:
1. My css file has php code in it.
2. Without the .htaccess as noted above, the php code is not processed.
3. With the .htaccess as above, the php code *is* processed.
4. All (most popular) browsers, except for FF/Mozillia, allow php
inside of css.
Please note that, Kreme and Wind (sounds like a Rock group) provided
the answer, which was to add a header to the css file, like so:
header('Content-Type: text/css; charset=ISO-8859-1');
So, it wasn't that the browsers were reading the .htaccess file, but
rather because of the .htaccess file FireFox/Mozillia required a
header in the css file just to keep things straight (my
understanding).
Now, this header coupled with the above .htaccess allows php code to
be embedded within a css file AND work for all popular browsers,
including FireFox/Mozillia.
This is simply amazing, at least to me, and completes my next step
toward world domination. :->.
Many thanks gang for your most excellent and mondo kewl advice.

tedd,
So with this approach you're able to tailor css styles for specific browsers
and their particular implementations of css, rather than employ hacks
directly in the css??
