justsomeguy Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 What you show there is CSS code, not HTML code. If you have a CSS-only file then save it as .css, not .html. If you want to put the CSS info directly into the HTML file then it goes between <style> tags in the head of the HTML document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewAK Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Also, you might want to include some standard code for the template document you are putting together. The following is standard "XHTML 1.0 Strict" code for a basic blank page. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><title>Untitled Document</title></head><body></body></html> If you are learning things at this point, as I am relearning much, try to focus on XHTML rather than HTML. That's what I was advised to do and I think that it's reflected in my programing habits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
