Having a bad day in the CSS office :-(

http://www.pauserefreshment.co.uk/google_ad_draft.html

Yep I’m having a bad oine today :frowning: Heres the problem. On the above page I just cant get the div column 3 to connect to my css. At the moment its all black, the css styling remains un connected. The paragraph causing my bum to have a migraine is the paragragh that runs with - “Big brand support”.

I;m just too tirred to spot it despite 5 coffees in the last 30 mins :frowning:

Any insights welcome…

indicates an id, not a class. :slight_smile:

Hi, the probglem is is that in teh CSS you use #column3 while in the HTML you give class=“column3”

It should be .column3 or id=“column3” or whatever :).

BTW, you realize you have a .column2 and a #column2 in the CSS?

Thank you both - Ive fixed it thanks to your help. Also tried to clean the garbage out of the css :slight_smile:

You’re welcome :).

At last you’ve been badged with css guru of the year! Well done, you’ve got me out of the css sh*t so many times, congratulations Ryan :slight_smile:

Thanks :D.
