Hi Dubbs.
If you place this in the head area of your page it should work.:)
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
color:#EEEEEE;
background-color:#1E1E1E;
}
a { color:#DDDDDD; }
a:visited { color:#FFA500; }
a:hover { color:#FFA500; }
a:active { color:#DA9100; }
-->
</style>
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Or, if you want to have the styles in a separate file, make sure that file does NOT start with

<style type="text/css">

And does NOT end with </style>.
A separate file has to start directly with the actual style rules, like

body { color: #eeeeee;} etc.

And when you link the stylesheet to your page, type:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="untitled2.css" type="text/css" media="screen">

If the css file is in a subfolder, then it's ...href=" subfolder/untitled2.css"...

If nothing helps, then please post a link and let us see what is going on.
Ha en riktig god dag!
