I assigned a class with the name of 'centcol' and none of the settings were applied. I renamed the class as 'midcolum' and everything worked as expected. Have I used a reserved word or am I losing my mind?

Class name problem

Do you have a HTML element with id or name = centcol.
I ran across something similar a few months ago, I had a radio button group with the name = "workStatus" as well as a CSS class named workStatus. The CSS class wasn't being applied until I changed the name.

Only the div' class is named as centcol.
I'll put it down to experience, it caused me some problems but it is working now. I create enough errors with CSS, I don't need ones which happen for no reason.

Are you certain there wasn't any upper/lowercase shenanigans going on?
For example, centcol != centCol
Would you not be better using an ID instead of a class?
If you only ever have 1 centcol then an ID would seem more appropriate. Of course if you have more than 1 centcol, a class would be the way to go.

I checked case etc. over and over again.
As a test, once it was working I renamed back to 'centcol' (thinking I was losing the plot) and it all went wrong again.
I will be re-using the same div further down the page but for now there is only one. I have been working backwards trying to get to the bottom of the problem.
