Answer 1

You're missing the closing brace for the body....





body {

background-color: transparent;

font-family : Verdana;

font-size : 8pt;

line-height : 10pt;

text-align : justify;

color : #515151;

cursor: default ;

margin-bottom: 0px;

margin: 0px;

} !!!!! - this one... lol, these things happen



p.s. it's a very nice style btw, simple and clean looking... I may just snag it for future reference
