I am trying to read xhtml spec and use one of its examples about css2 in
xhtml.

The example on the PDF paper with internal styles defenition works just
fine. When I try to use an external file with css defs it just does not work
show/hide quoted text
xhtml examples link style sheets and I would like to know the reason why it
is not working for me.

Here is the html file:

show/hide quoted text
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
show/hide quoted text

and here is the CSS file:

hehe {
color: red;
font-family: monospace;
font-weight: normal;
}

What is wrong, can someone tell me please?

The Doctype you specified doesn't include a "hehe" element.

What content type are you serving the file with?

Home is where the ~/.bashrc is

Which XHTML Spec ?
URL ?

show/hide quoted text
Which PDF Paper ?
URL ?

show/hide quoted text
Do I understand this right ?
The example you quote _is_ working. You have another example that links
to "an external file with css defs" that doesn't work. What does this
broken example look like ?

show/hide quoted text

No - I don't know what is wrong, so I can't tell you why it is not
working.

For me, I have the styles applied and it appears to "work". Give us the
URL of your server and we can look at your example that isn't working.

show/hide quoted text
and .hehe {} (which works in all HTML versions) Or else use
namespacing, but that's not usually a good idea.

I kind of figured this out - if I serve the file as xml type from httpd then
it works. If I open it with my brower as an html page. It does not.

Thanks to all.

the papers and specs I am reading some from www.w3c.org

The PI only works for real XML--not text/html.
