strangest thing has been happening, basically i though id finally use css sheets all i want to do is the hover and link colours, but anywho i been testing it out by simply trying to change the colour of text, i have followed EXACTLY what it says in the dreamweaver help guide and it seems to all work, the text goes a different colour in dreamweaver, however if i open up internet explorer and see if its worked the text hasnt changed, yet if i go into dreamweaver and click preview in internet explorer, guess what, it works and the text is there? i dont understand whats going on at all.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/turder.css" type="text/css">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class="unnamed1">
turd
</body>


//thats the page above

.unnamed1 { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; color: #00FFFF; text-decoration: blink; line-height: normal; font-weight: normal; font-variant: normal; text-transform: capitalize; background-color: #00FFFF}

//and thats the css file

Anyone know why it doesnt work? its so strange that it works when u use the preview in internet ex, im using dr 4 and inx 6 i think or 5


*i think i may of found it, its if i save the file as relative to site root not document, shame it doesnt say this in the help manual, damn them¬! :rolleyes:

Umm, the site coding doesn't show up but oh well. If you're calling the CSS file within the HTML file, you'd need to have the href or src (forgot which one) point to the exact path where the CSS file is stored on your web server.

Lets say for example your HTML file is in directory ROOT, and the CSS file is in the directory COW within the folder ROOT. Whatever tag you're using to call the CSS file, you'd need to point it to COW/CSSFILETHING.CSS.
