<link> element and CSS not working
Wayne Essel
server (localhost). Have Win2K Pro and IE 5.5. I have
reduced this to a single page with only an H3 tag within
the body. The page just ignores the stylesheet.
Here's the content of the stylesheet, test.css:
<STYLE>
.greenText
{
FONT-SIZE: 8pt;
FONT-FAMILY: Verdana;
COLOR: green;
}
</STYLE>
Here's the page:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="test.css">
</head>
<body class="greenText" >
<h3>this is a test</h3>
</body>
</html>
If I move the style element and contents from the
stylesheet to the head tag in the page, it works fine. If
the stylesheet is separate, the page ignores it.
Any ideas what is going on? Is there a setting on the web
server or in IE that needs to be set in order to use
stylesheets?
Any help would be appreciated.

You must not put that in your css file, it creates an invalid stylesheet.
Just start with the css.

That's because when it's inavlid it is required to ignore it.

Thank you very much. The original stylesheet was given to
me to use and I never questioned the tags. So every pared
down version I used for testing had the tags in it. Took
them out and it now works fine. Wonder how come none of
my team mates who are already using the sheet noticed
this???
