header divs using frontpage 2003

[quartzy]

I have a problem, I am learning CSS and using frontpage to help me along. I am creating a website and already have difficulties, the header div is OK but the next div the layer 1 will not show when previewed in the firefox browser, I have a total of four divs on the page and they all show except this div.
Here is the code I have for it,

div.IDlayer1 { background color: #6600CC; text-decoration: none;
font-family: verdana, serif, arial, times new roman; text-color:
#FFFFFF; padding: 5px; color: #FFFFFF; font-size:12pt;
text-align: right; font-weight:bold; float:left;
left: 1px; top: 199px; width:799px; z-index: 0;}

Is there anything wrong with this code? I have checked it and all seems OK but the div just will not show. Cannot figure it out. Thanks for any responses.

It depends. Showing the CSS only is like showing us a coloring book without the lines. We need the whole picture so show the HTML also.

In your css, it's 'background-color' with a hyphen.

There is no such thing as 'text-color'. To color test, it's just 'color'.

hello
thanks for replying to my post. I have started again and this time it works fine, but it is good to know this forum exists while I am learning.

Beware of FrontPage. It produces markup so bad, even Microsoft dropped it. If you are just learning, I suggest you code by hand, using a simple text editor like Notepad.
