[RESOLVED] newbie issue, span style vs. class

[chazzy]

I have a span defined like this:


<span style="background-image:url('right.png');background-repeat:no-repeat;padding:2px 2px 2px 2px;"></span>


And it displays perfectly.

When I change it to have a stylesheet define as:


.rightTab { background-image:url('right.png');background-repeat:no-repeat;padding:2px 2px 2px 2px; }

and the span defined as:

<span class="rightTab"></span>

The style is lost. No other tags/styles are in place. What gives?

div class="rightTab"

well, as i mentioned, it works fine when i put the style attribute in, instead of a class, so switching to a div is unlikely to fix it.

i was however mistaken, i missed an error in the previous stylesheet (no } ) so it wasn't rendering properly. it's working now.
