In your stylesheet you have the following:
body { font-family: Verdana, Geneva, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: orange; }/*You later assigned background-color: silver to body. See comment below*/ h1, h2 { font-weignt: normal; } blockquote { font-style: italic; } body { background-color: silver; }/*This takes precedence*/ h1 { font-size: 170%; } h2 { font-size: 120%; } You first assigned background-color:orange to body. Then further down you assigned background-color:silver to body. This takes precedence. You should use hexadecimal values for colours also. It ensures better cross browser compliance. |

I noticed that and changed that but no matter what I put in the external stylesheet, it doesn't change anything on the webpage.

When I tried to load http://www.cs.iupui.edu/~mjsmith/journal.css I got a 403 Forbidden response.

I don't know what's going on, I gave it the right permissions but periodocally today I have had to do it again. Try it again.

This message is showing up:
Forbidden You don't have permission to access /~mjsmith/journal.css on this server. If you are using hexadecimal colors you must have the hash symbol as here: #ff6600. |
