Ok, Yesterday, I noticed that a few pages on the company interanet looked like they were not linking to their style sheets. I open the source, and lo and behold, the style sheet link ref had vanished. Further investigation revealed that around 60-80% of the pages that had links to style sheets had this problem.
Any idea what could cause this. I have just about eliminated the human element, and I don't believe anyone having a joke would still be going (Even my boss wouldn't and he likes jokes like that). Frontpage 2000 is floating around on some peoples computers, but they shouldn't have the write access to change it even if they wanted to.
So this leaves software problem and virus, unless any one can think of somthing else.
Anyone either tell me if there are such virus's that strip specific tags out of HTML documents, or even better, post a possible reason why this is happening.
*Goes off to tear out some more hair*
Cheers in advance

I keep the site in notepad, although others seem to have frontpage access to it, where they shouldn't. We are trying to replicate the issue, but we can't do it.
Our best guess is someone fiddling in frontpage 200 hit Remove all style sheets on site by accident, but we can't even find that function in frontpage, so we are only assuming it has it.
Also, the pages didn't all use the same style sheets, or even get them all from the same directory, so I don't think it was as simple as a find replace error unfortunatly.
Any other ideas guys?
