CSS Confusion

[artnat]

I set a quality in CSS and then I select the "class" on the type or box definitions but it often won't apply. I look at the thread list at the bottom of the work area and don't see 2 CSSes, so there is not a conflict but can anyone give me a heads up on some simple reasons why my CSS might not be working?

Could you post one specific example that doesn't seem to be working?
e.g.

.myclass {color: red;}

...

<p class="myclass">This isn't the right color.</p>

Yes, my css is titled and listed as follows:
claud.css
"body" Arial background-color 663300

There are two places for background under the section background in CSS

1. says "background" with a blank area on the right (where you can put a number)
2. says "background-color" and it has a box where I currently have a brown, next to which is my number 663300

This brown shows up in DW covering the entire background around my table BUT it doesn't show up on the site. Evidently , it is blocked by something else although I can't find it.

Nor can I remove the brown, even if I switch the CSS to blank and even go into the code and remove everyhting extraneous.

I "search " the code but can't find either the word "color" or number "663300."

Thanks fro your help!

Can you follow traingamer's advice and post the actual code that is in claud.css and the code where it isn't working

Sure, Cheech, and thanks for your interest.

body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background-color: 663300;
}

td {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

th {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}.claud {
background-attachment: fixed;
background-image: url("claudi_bg.jpg");
background-repeat: repeat;
background-position: left top;
}
.background {
}
.style4_sml {
font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 12px;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: normal;
font-variant: normal;
text-transform: none;
}

body {

    background-color: [COLOR=blue]#[/color]663300;
}
