This is b/c the files served from java.net get merged w/ templates on
the server. The css that gets defined on the page isn't just what is
checked into the jsftemplating web site. That's just how java.net does it.

I don't think it matters if the style has or doesn't have the color /
underlining. Whatever style java.net wants to impose is fine with me.
I think trying to fix it on a single page will result in too much
effort. I am fine with you making lots of checkins to test the
changes... that's what I have had to do in the past at times.

I think you might be able to get all the generated css by saving the
page with Firefox (or maybe IE?? not sure). When you do this it will
save all the images, js, and css that is needed by the page as well...
although this might be more work than it is worth since the generated
HTML page is not the same as the checked in html page... so you'd have
to cut/paste etc.
