Try this -
<link href="../css/main_layout.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

You need to get rid of the commas in some of your rules, specifically the border and font rules.
Should be like the following: -
#header{
-
border: 1px solid black;
-
font: 1em black Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
-
}

thanks that helps a lot but I still get no style in my browser. everything looks perfect on dreamweaver, borders show in live mode now. I still get a blank white screen in my browser.
Try using an absolute path to your css file.
Where is your html file stored and where is your css file stored?
The html file is in a folder called html and the css file is in a folder called css. Both of those folders are contained in the same folder. I tried the absolute path and it is still not working.
Try this -
<link href="../css/main_layout.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

thanks, that was the one. so what do those dots mean? andapparently they are required? Thanks for all your help.
The dots are there for going up a level in your directories. Because your html file is stored in its own folder you need to tell it to get out of that folder then into the css folder to the css file.
