Link problem in css

hi all,

I have a link problem in css, i have 3 files in the same directory, file1.html, file2.html, style.css

file1 and file2 are the same except the <style> part, file1 links to style.css but file2 hard code the style between <head> tag.

file1.html:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
</head>

<body>
<b>Test CSS</b>
<form>
<table>
<tr>
<td align="right"><b>User Name:</b></td>
<td><input type="text" name="LoginName" /><td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right"><b>Password:</b></td>
<td><input type="password" name="LoginPW" /><td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="submit" value="Login" />
<input type="reset" value="Reset" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

file2.html:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body { background-color: #333333; color: orange; font-family: Verdana; font-size:18px;}
table { color: orange; font-family: Verdana; font-size:14px}
form { color: orange; font-family: Verdana; font-size:14px}
input { font-family: Verdana; font-size:14px}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<b>Test CSS</b>
<form>
<table>
<tr>
<td align="right"><b>User Name:</b></td>
<td><input type="text" name="LoginName" /><td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right"><b>Password:</b></td>
<td><input type="password" name="LoginPW" /><td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="submit" value="Login" />
<input type="reset" value="Reset" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

style.css:
<style type="text/css">
body { background-color: #333333; color: orange; font-family: Verdana; font-size:18px;}
table { color: orange; font-family: Verdana; font-size:14px}
form { color: orange; font-family: Verdana; font-size:14px}
input { font-family: Verdana; font-size:14px}
</style>

However, the output is different. file2.html (hard code css) shows the result I predict. file1.html (link one) cannot change the background colour to #333333 and the text color of <b>Test CSS</b> is not orange.

Can anyone tell me why this happens? Thanks a lot.

Try removing the <style> tags from style.css.
