Ryan,

Your CSS is meaningless without the HTML that goes with it. Can you 
please post a link to your page? A description of what the actual 
problem is, and what the expected results are, would be good too.

Make sure you validate your HTML and CSS before sending us a link. 
Fixing any problems there might be all you need.

Zoe
