Oooooh! I completely forgot about that, it is right. In the .css file there shouldn't be any style or comment tags, just the style sheet info.

Thanks for posting the solution, now maybe I'll remember that!

found my mishap....which was in the .css file

The <STYLE> tags (according to W3C CSS Validation Service) were the cause of the Black background not transferring from the .css file to the html page......it said...

unrecognized ----> <STYLE> {background-color: black;}

anyway, seeing as how I'm new to this I thought I'd let ya know just in case any one else was having problems

Thanks

Thanks John for the reply
Maybe ????? because I have IE 5 that the background color isn't transferring ?

There isn't any extra body tags in the pages and I have saved everything in my text editor ( notepad ),the background just stays white.
Below is the start of all my HTML pages on my site

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Aerosmith</TITLE>

</HEAD>
<BODY>

and then just all my links and text after that

Thanks again

The only thing I can think is that FP is known to change code when you don't want it to once you save the page.

See if it is altering your body tag and adding a background="color" attribute to it, that might override the style sheet you want to use.

If it is, your best bet is to save everything in a plain text editor if possible.
