external css, body-tag
Hi,
I have a page where I want to use an external css file to specify the font-family and font-size of the body in all the pages that include that css-file. I include it by doing this: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../main.css" /> and in that file I have this (among other things):
Code:
body
	{
		font-family: helvetica, arial;
		font-size: 12px;
		color: #000000;
		background-color: #FFFFFF;
		margin: 0px;
		border: 0px solid black;
	}
It works in Opera 7.x but it doesn't work in IE 5.0, it ignores everything I put in there... It works if I copy the body tag to the page that should use it, but I don't want to do that...

What is wrong?

Could you post the link the the page please?

That will help further to see the problem but it could be a case of you having set the boy properties different in the page itself which has higher priorities over the external css which is ignored.

Really strange!!
I've tried it in MSIE6 and works...
I've also checked the compatibility between the CSS properties you've used and MSIE5 but I haven't found anything wrong!

TRshady is right: post a link to the page!

Good luck.

Solution
External css files should not have the <style> tags in them. They should have no HTML at all....

remove the <style..> </style> tags and it should work...
