CSS problem: IE6 <td>

I have a css stylesheet that has:

td.itemtitle ( background: #efe; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: bold; )

then my html page has:

<table>
<tr>
<td class="itemtitle ">Title</td>
</tr>
</table>

But the css doesn't get applied! Why is this!
The following css line does work, though... it's just when applying a class to a td that it doesn't work:

td { background:#000000; text-align:left; font-style:italic; color:yellow; padding-left:15px }

what's going on!?
thanks

try removing the space after itemtitle and before the quote

The following works, your's did not.

PHP Code:


		
			
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<html>

<head>

<title>Untitled Document</title>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<style type="text/css">

<!--

td.itemtitle { background: #eeffee; font-size: 16pt; font-weight:bold;}

-->

</style>

</head>

<body>

<table>

<tr>

<td class="itemtitle">Title</td>

</tr>

</table>

</body>

</html>

Edging toward OT

It appears that a more appropriate set of tags would be:

Code:

<table border="" class="" summary="">
  <caption class="">Table Name</caption>
  <thead class="">
    <tr>
      <th>col 1 header</th>
      <th>col 2 header</th>
      <th>col 3 header</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody class="">
    <tr>
.
.
.

cheers,

gary
