Yes, stylesheets are another part of it.  Depending on the
source, you'll get more than one answer, either of the ones
we have provided, or both.

But in this case I was under the impression JT meant CGI

data that resides in the page.  (ie everything must exist
somewhere on the page in hidden forms, fields, javascript,
etc.)
