Style code trouble!

Could you clarify which block of code is working and which isn't?

Try comparing the selectors in each blog. For example, the first one has styles for

Code:

body.c8

which means they will apply to the body tag only if you have

Code:

<body class="c8">

in the HTML. In the second block, the selector is just "body", meaning that it will apply
to the body tag regardless of its classes.

If you compare the selectors as well as the classes used in the HTML itself, that might explain the results you're getting.

Did you miss the semi-colon? eg

body.c8 {background-color:#37007b;}

Normally, you don't need the semicolon for the last one. You only need it if you are separating multiple styles for the same thing.

i would say add semi colons to everything and remove the /*<![CDATA[*/ & /*]]>*/ (What is that stuff even for?)

Yup, the CDATA stuff is not needed--but in this case, both lines are /* commented out */ so they won't impact the CSS.

And Cecil is correct; the last semicolon in each block is optional.
