"apples " is not a tag or a selector name as use. Remove them. Style the body tag first:
| Code: |
<style type="text/css">
body {
width:220px;
margin: 0 auto;
background:#e0ffff;
padding:10px;
border: 5px solid #c0c0c0;
}
</style> |
You must use a proper HTML format. Embedded CSS (style tags) go between the head tags of your page. You are trying to code to a XHTML 1.0 Transitional document type which requires stricter coding than HTML 4.01 Transitional document type.
Your image file paths or any other path referring to a file on your computer is not going to work online. The paths must be relative (or full), but the files have to maintain the proper relationship with each other online. |

You must use a correct layout style to get your code to render properly.
| Code: |
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">

margin:0;
padding:0;
}
body {

line-height:1.5;

font-family:Baskerville, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:16px;
}
h3 {
font-size:120%;
}
#apples
{
background:#e0ffff;
width:79%;
padding:10px;
border:5px solid gray;
margin:10px auto;
}
#apples p {margin-bottom:10px;}
