Here is the home page code: ------------------------------------------- <head> <title>Cat Info-Introduction</title> <style type="text/css"> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="file:///c|\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\Website\CSS\base.css" /> </style> </head> ------------------------------------------------ here is the css: ---------------------------------------------- h1,h2,h3{color:#412700;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;} p{color:#8c5900; font-size:120%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;} a:link{color:#8C5900;} a:visited{color:#005073;} a:hover{color:#412700;} body{background:#acacac;} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 The problem is that your HTML is sloppy.You have:<head><title>Cat Info-Introduction</title><style type="text/css"><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="file:///c|\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\Website\CSS\base.css" /></style></head> And it SHOULD be like this:<head><title>Cat Info-Introduction</title><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="file:///c|\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\Website\CSS\base.css" /><style type="text/css"></style></head> You ONLY put CSS inside <style> tags, NOT <meta> and <link> tags.You may also put @ rules in <style> tags. Example:@import@screen@printetc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
