Hello, I am following along with the "Lynda.com.PHP.With.MySQL.Essential.Training.DVD" and am stuck on trying to get my css stylesheet to load with my pages. I followed line by line verbatim and still couldn't find the solution. Below is the CSS code I have entered in so far. Below that is the PHP code I am trying to load with the CSS.

Code: Select all

/* Site Colors:
    #1A446C - blue gret
    #689DC1 - light blue
    #D4E6F4 - very light blue
    #EEE4B9 - light tan
    #8D0D19 - burgundy
*/

html { height: 100%; width: 100%; }
body { width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px;
    font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background #D4E6F4;
    font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; }
img { border: none; }
table, tr, td { border-collapse: collapse; veritical-align: top; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;}
a { color: #8D0D19;}

#header { height: 70px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;
    background: #1A446C; color: #D4E6F4; }
#header h1 { padding: 1em; margin: 0px;}
#main { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; height: 600px; width: 100%; background: #EEE4B9; }
#structure { height: 600px; width: 100%; }
#footer { height: 2em; margin: 0px; padding: 1em; text-align: center;
    background: #1A446C; color: #D4E6F4; }
    
/* Navigation */
#navigation { width: 150px; padding: 1em 2em; color: #D4E6F4; background: #8D0D19; }
#navigation a { color: #D4E6F4; text-decoration: none; }
ul.subjects { padding-left: 0; list-style: none; }
ul.pages { padding-left: 2em; list-style: square; }
.selected { font-weight: bold; }
    
/* Page Content */
#page { padding-left: 2em; vertical-align: top; background: #EEE4B9; }
#page h2 { color: #8D0D19; margin-top: 1em;}
#page h3 { color: #8D0D19; }

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Widget Corp </title>    
        <link href="stylesheets/public.css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" type="test/css" />
    </head>
    <body>
          <div id="header">
            <h1>Widget Corp</h1>
          </div>
          <div id="main">

1. That's HTML, not PHP. Big difference.
2. The HTML is incomplete. Did you not post everything?
3a. What URL are you using to see the page? Where is the file on your computer?
3b. Where is the style.css file on your computer?

OK thanks! I realized that the example given in the tutorial is incomplete. I am going to read from my PHP book now as opposed to going along with the video tutorials.
