Thanks Sebastian.

I've changed to a gmail account. Hope this leaves the code intact.

Exactly that, except that style was in capitals.

Line 46 was already in the table of contents.

I'm using org-mode 6.06, emacs 22.1.1, Ubuntu 8.04.

I'm completely puzzled. Giving up ? -- nope.

What did Org-mode's XHTML export <head> section look like then?

OK. Just to be sure...
 
1.) Your *.org file should have this in the header:
 
#+style: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="basic.css" />
 
 
2.) After export, line ~47 (or 46 or 48...) should look like this:
 
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="basic.css" />
 
  If not, make sure step 1.) is done.
 
 
 
Now, if the exported *.html file and basic.css live in the same
directory, it should work.
 
 
Sorry, you're not allowed to simply give up :)
