Losing Connection To Part Of Css Page.

[deltawiskey]

OK, I'm new. I've adapted some pages for our local club by brute force and ignorance, and achieved both XHTML and CSS validation. Sample here - http://www.titchfiel...ultsFinal1.html Now I'm trying to learn CSS properly, so back to page 1. I was changing one little bit of CSS (below the 'body' section) at a time, when suddenly the 'body' section in the CSS page is no longer recognised, all the rest is. So I type out again the missing section, save (leaving the original in place), and it works - but only if I leave both copies in. These are copied and pasted from the CSS file, I can't see any difference between the two, or why it should need both. What's going on, please? body (the orignal){background-color:#cde6ff;background-image:url(images/bg_body.png);background-repeat:repeat-x;padding-top:100px;} body (re-typed replacement){background-color:#cde6ff;background-image:url(images/bg_body.png);background-repeat:repeat-x;padding-top:100px; } It might be worth mentioning that I always seem to have trouble making the initial 'link href' work - the last time I had to copy a set of existing HTML and CSS files into the directory, that appeared to give the link a nudge, so it then worked. The full CSS page is below,if required - v/* Default CSS *//* Generated by the CoffeeCup HTML Editor - www.coffeecup.com */@charset "UTF-8"; body {background-color: #cde6ff;background-image:url(images/bg_body.png);background-repeat: repeat-x;padding-top: 100px;}body{background-color: #cde6ff;background-image:url(images/bg_body.png);background-repeat: repeat-x;padding-top: 100px;} h1{color:#ff0000;font-size:3em;font-family: "Arial Black", Arial, sans-serif;text-align:center;} p{font-family: "Palatino Linotype", Baskerville, serif;color:#616161;line-height:150%;margin-top:10px;margin-left:80px;font-size: 1.5em;} h2{color:#ff0000;font-weight:normal;font-family: "Palatino Linotype", Baskerville, serif;font-size:2.2em;border-bottom:2px white solid;background :url(images/bullet_flower.png) no-repeat ;padding: 0 0 2px 80px;margin: 0;} .intro{color:#0000ff;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 1.2em;margin-left: 20px;margin-bottom:25px;} .bold{font-size: 1.5em;color: #000000;font-weight:bold; }

Further notes - I experimented by chopping out bits of the first set. I can take everything out EXCEPT - body {} leaving the second set in place. I'm gonna cry! ??

Is this "v" in the actual file?

v/* Default CSS */

Yes, the "v", was there but it shouldn't have been - I've taken it out and all seems well, many thanks. Note to self: Do not rest text-book on laptop keyboard!
