Having trouble with my background command in CSS 1

Goat23 · Nov 7, 2005

I'm having a problem with my CSS.

I've just recently started fooling around with CSS, and I have most everything set up the way I want it. However, my CSS comand for the background color is not working. Here's the code I'm using

<STYLE TYPE-"type/css">



</STYLE>

.....And here is how I have it arranged on my main page:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="20030111">
<title>Famous Farms --- Producer of Fine Flora and Fauna</title>
<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="Plants, Animals, Flora, Fauna, Famous, Farms, varieties, species, ">
<META NAME="description" CONTENT="A Provider of Fine Flora and Fauna">
<META NAME="Author" CONTENT="Greg Fahy">
<META NAME="Originator" CONTENT="Famous Farms">
<META NAME="Place.Keyword" CONTENT="Famous Farms">

<LINK REL=stylesheet HREF="/css.css" TYPE="text/css">
</HEAD>

<body topmargin="5" leftmargin="5">
<P> Welcome to Famous Farms.

</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>
</html>

....Please let me know if you spot where the problem is. You can also go to the site itself

http://famous-farms.com

and look at the source code of the rest of the pages/frames, thanks.

You don't need the "<STYLE TYPE-"type/css"> <!--" stuff in your CSS file, you only need that for inline styles in an HTML document. Putting that stuff in a css file is invalid, and will make adjacent rules not work - the body {} rule in your case.

You can also replace the top/leftmargin attributes in your html with CSS equivalents:

Code:

body { background: #6f6;
       margin: 5px; }

And lose the [tt]</noframes> </frameset>[/tt] at the end, this isn't a frameset document.
