Hey guys! Long time, no chat... I've been busy lately.

Anyway, I just started integrating CSS into my webpages and keep coming across an annoying problem. I have my stylesheet save into a file called "css.css" and I include it into my webpage using the standard:

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

The problem comes along with my "body" tag in the stylesheet. For some reason, the body tag doesn't apply at all when it's included with the stylesheet. But if I manually code it into the webpage, it works like a charm.

This is probably a pretty stupid noob mistake, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks in advance.

well if it isn't the "Great Creator of the Neverending Thread" :)
 
can you post the body style code that you have in the CSS document?
 
it should look something like this
 


BODY {
 font-size: 10px;


 font-family: Arial, Verdana;


 color: #000000;


 background: #FFFFFF;
}

body {
background-color:#000000;margin:0
;}


This tag works if I hard code it directly into the page, but not in the CSS file with all the other attributes.

that's quite odd, as it appears to be coded correctly. do you have a link to where i can take a look?
