cant get my css to work

**alros** · 01-13-2008 11:32 PM

Hi
I am starting with a new site. Made a simple version of the beginning of the first page with a an external style sheet putting it in the same folder. The css works for the body tag but not for the other tags. I am posting the html and the css, can you point out what my mistake might be? I can't figure it out. Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Alros

Here is the css:

body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #050845;
color: white;
font: small Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;
}

#Header {

margin: 150px 0px 10px 0px;
padding: 17px 0px 0px 20px;
height: 100px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: white;
border-width: 1px 0px;
line-height: 11px;
background-color: #eee;
}

#Content {
margin: 0px 50px 50px 200px;
padding: 10px;
}

Here is the HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css11" type="text/css"/>
</head>
<body>

<div id="header">

You are using capital letters in your css file, so the names do not match with the html - the names are case sensitive.
