body selector not registering in ff

[Merlin Fradley]

I am re doing a friends site using css, and have a problem with the
formating applied to the body not registering in firefox. It works fine
in IE and Opera, the only other browsers I've tried it in.
Page in question is here:

Any help greatly appreciated.

PS The original, done before I even knew what a tag was, is at

You can see why I'm re doing it!

You have HTML in your CSS file. Take out the <style> tags and the HTML
comments. Comments in CSS are of the form /* comment */

Lose this following '->' marked stuff from your style sheet...

-> <style>
-> <!--

-> <!-- [...] -->
-> <!-- [...] -->

[all your CSS is here]

-> -->
-> </style>

....i.e. don't use (X)HTML markup constructs inside a style sheet file.

Comments inside CSS is through /* ... */ constructs only, and they
don't nest.

Hey! It works! The HTML was put in by the authoring program I use
(Matrix Y2K) which I am generally happy with, and I had assumed it was
trying to make sure browsers never tried to display the css itself. I
left it in just because it was easier than deleting it I guess. Lazy! If
you look, you will find my /* comments */ are in the right format, but
thanks for the tip, and thanks for the solution! I was going to try a
div enclosing everything in the body, but that seemed a little silly.
Thanks again!
