i currently just created an external .css file.. i have it linked to my .html file.. everything in my .css is working correctly except the {background-color: black} this is my full .css contents...

body {background-color: black}

table.left {color: white}

table.right {color: white}

table.center {color: white}

h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 {color: white}

p {color: white}
-------------
well the only thing that does not work is the body {background-color: black} so my background displays as default white... but this worked fine before when the CSS was internal.. i was wondering whats causing this and how i can fix it if anyone knows... thanx ahead of time

how does your html code look? especially the body tag is of interest

only thing i can think of is that a delcaration is overwriting the CSS file...

try this:

Code: 
body {background: black}

or just change your body tag to:

Code: 
<body bgcolor=black>

that will do the same thing that css does.
