body{
background-color: #999999;
font:Verdana;
font-size:12px;
color:#000000;

}

#apDiv1 {
	position:absolute;
	left:52px;
	top:234px;
	width:494px;
	height:324px;
	z-index:1;
	font:Verdana;
	font-size:12px;
	color:#000000;
	overflow: scroll;
}

.body-text {
font:Verdana;
font-size:12px;
color:#000000;
}

can anybody see any problem with this as to why it wont display?? the html file wont read this when i look at the page in a browser. when in dreamweaver all the styles are like they should but in numerous browsers its the browsers default text??

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">
</head>

this is the header from the html file. the stylesheet is in the right folder, as proved because dreamweaver can "see" it.

cheers

Is the css document in the same folder as the .htm file?

from the looks of it ...

font: should be font-family:

also ... you should close your link tag properly ... <link .... />

no problem old mistake I made once or twice as well that had me going crazy for a while

you can however use

body {
font: 11px Verdana;
}
