hi,

my site's main CSS file includes an import of another CSS file:

@import url( '../inkblot/includes/css/cf-reset.css' );

the cf-reset.css file that is imported sort of defines the "backbone" of the site.

on my computer the site has always loaded fine with chrome, but on 2 other computers, the first time i loaded my site with chrome, the cf-reset.css wasn't loaded, which caused the site not to be centered. when i refreshed, though, the cf-reset file did load.

does anyone have any idea why the importing of this file doesn't always work properly? and how can i prevent this from happening? i don't want to lose new visitors because the site doesn't load properly.

my site's url (it's not in English):
www.ho-lo.co.il

There's likely nothing wrong with Chrome's behavior, it worked perfectly for me the first time. I've had many instances, with ALL the major browsers, not completely loading a css file, or graphics. If it was taking too long to load it, they browser may have timed out before it was completely loaded. IF you have text alternatives for your graphics, then your visitors should still see something.

why not include the css in the standard way?

There's no difference and there are advantages to using the @import with multiple css files.
