Wow! I took off the leading digit and it works. I vaguely recall that
happening to me in Flash action scripting once but didn't think it
would carry over to css. I guess it's good programming in general to
not lead with a digit.
Thanks for the help to all. I knew it was something simple that makes
me look like a moron again. :-)
Skulking for cover now.
Thanks,
Michael
