When I do my style sheet, it looks fine, but when it is on the web, my writing is in black when I want my writing white! I've put what I wrote down below:

<html>
<head><title>Worry Web</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!- -
A:link
{text-decoration:none; colour:#6699FF}
A:visited
{text-decoration:line-through; colour:#6699FF}
A:active
{text-decoration:none; colour:#6699FF;
background-image:http://www.melodyukok.topcities.com/layw.jpg;
background-colour:#000000;
cursor:crosshair}
{background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center center;
background-attachment:fixed;
font-family: Ozymandias;
colour:#FFFFFF;
letter-spacing:3pt;
font-weight:normal;
font-size:x-small;
scrollbar-face-colour:#000000;
scrollbar-highlight-colour:#000000;
scrollbar-3dlight-colour:#000000;
scrollbar-shadow-colour:#000000;
scrollbar-darkshadow-colour:#000000;
scrollbar-track-colour:#FFFFFF;
scrollbar-arrow-colour:#FFFFFF}
input, textarea
{background:#FFFFFF;
font-family:kristen ict;
colour:#000000;
border-style:solid;
border-colour:#6699FF;
border-width:5px}
-->
</style>

What am I doing wrong? Also, I put my links on the menu sidey thing with the divs but wen its on the web, my links are at the bottom of my background image. This is what I put:

<img src="layw.jpg" border=0 height="500" width="780">
<div style="position:abosolute; top:130px;left:686px; width:186px" id="menu">Then I put my links and all that.

What am I doing wrong here too?

Thanks

try this. color mis-spelled, body word missing, and absolute word mis-spelled...

yeah, in Canada the word colour has the different spelling too. in webpage language though, you will have to follow the specified spelling. it is a common error ;)
