CSS not being read properly? Or an "error" somewhere?

Hey all,

I'm using the Multiflex-2 xhtml layout.

http://www.openwebdesign.org/design/2876/MultiFlex21/

As you can see the background has a more greyish look with a black shadow on the border line.

On my site this doesn't appear and I am led to believe it's SOMETHING to do with my CSS.

My site: http://www.phoenixsupras.exofire.net/ - just a plain white, and no shadow on the border.

My CSS:

body {font-size: 64%; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; background: url(../img/background_body_grey.gif) top center repeat-y; font-family: verdana, arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}

.page-container-1 {width: 770px; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; background: url(../img/background_layout_1.gif) top left repeat-y; border: solid 1px rgb(100,100,100);}

.page-container-2 {width: 770px; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; background: url(../img/background_layout_2.gif) top left repeat-y; border: solid 1px rgb(100,100,100);}

.page-container-3 {width: 770px; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; background: url(../img/background_layout_3.gif) top left repeat-y; border: solid 1px rgb(100,100,100);} 

HTML:

Why can't I get it to work?


Also, say I wanted to add an image background which repeated itself how would I get that image to show just on the outside of the borders and not in the actual page container? www.phoenixsupras.exofire.net/img/bck3xs4.gif

 

Your link is broken. Please repost the link.

I don't know who told you to put your css rules in a single line, but don't. It's ugly and makes debugging more difficult. Put each rule on its own line, indented 2 or 3 spaces.

body {
  font-size: 64%; 
  margin: 0px auto; 
  padding: 0px; 
  background: url(../img/background_body_grey.gif) top center repeat-y; 
  font-family: verdana, arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  }

Code (markup):

cheers,

It's going through a DNS change at the moment - sorry!!

That was the original css from the template. Thanks, I shall change it - much easier on the eye your way.

Cheers

I'll repost when the DNS has finished. Sorry.

 

Just a "bump" to say it's back up now.

 

The site isn't loading for me.

 

Works fine for me.

 

Looks like your background image is missing, should it be here...

Thanks
