Hi i am using this css code to place a bit of text but its not working, just putting the text where the span is on the code?

The css

#yellowtext .yellowtext {
position:relative;
left:430;
top:2600px;
color: #ff0000;
z-index:1;
}

and the code

<?php
session_start();
$global_email = 'info@slweb.co.nz';
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD html 4.0 Transitional//EN" >
<html>

the way you have specfified it here is
#yellowtext .yellowtext {
this means only items with the class yellowtext thats parent elements id is yellowtext.
either insert a comma
#yellowtext, .yellowtext {
to say one or the other or delete one
