You have an extra ">" after the closing style tag and before the link tag: <style type="text/css"> a:link { color: #000000; } a:visited { color: #000000; } a:hover { color: #000000; } a:active { color: #000000; font-size: 24px; } </style> > <link href="css/simpleGridTemplate.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> Code (markup): That's Dreamweaver for ya!
FYI, the extra > acts to close the head element and drop everything following the style element into the body element in the document object model (DOM). The head is normally not displayed. See e.g. Firefox's default style sheet: base, basefont, datalist, head, meta, script, style, title, noembed, param, template { display: none; } Code (markup): Beware of any auto-complete. gary
